Just listened to this St Louis radio show where they talked about the rumor. They talk about Tkachuk multiple times, first with O Brien then again just before the 1 hr mark. Pretty thoughtful takes on it, including acknowledging that it's not very realistic, and that Calgary doesn't have to trade him, and that he's worth a ton of young assets. At one point one of the hosts says he's heard that the ask would be at least two first rounders and a top prospect, if they wanted to move him.

Not that I believe the host here, but if the flames are entertaining a Tkachuk for futures trade, that means that they are entertaining a full scale rebuild. You can't do one and not the other IMO.
I think the value is close but they would need to be the '22 and '23 picks with no protection. Only way I'd consider any of that.
