Yeah, I just don't buy it. Francis loves being the villain.
Everyone loves to point out how Tkachuk has just two years of "potential" team control and how much of a risk that is but casually gloss over Eichel's significant injury concerns, huge caphit, and questionable attitude issues.
The difference in production between the two amounts to roughly 12-15 points a season, and while that is significant, the gap between the two certainly isn't "five other" pieces like the Francis article mentions.
To suggest that Tkachuk, Dube, and the 12th overall pick isn't even close is nothing short of hysterical and as usual further demonstrates how undervalued our players are within our city and media outlets.
