Tkachuk needs to be either extended long term this off season or dealt before his value keeps dropping, because nobody is going to give up anything of value when everyone and their sister knows where the guy is most likely to end up when he finally gets to choose for himself.

For the record, Gaudreau has never once hinted at anything other than wanting to play in Calgary. He's also never looked or acted like he didn't want to be here.
I would argue that the whole "Johhny wants to play in Philly" thing was started on this very message board, and that any media stories about it are just speculative and based on the ensuing comments from people on this very message board. Some people here see how close Johnny is with his family, and they couple that with an internal belief that no one as good as him would want to stay here, and then regurgitate it over and over again until other people start to think it's true. Before you know it, it becomes, "everyone knows Johnny is headed to Philly as soon as he can."
