And as much as fans wish it were true, you don’t get everything you want in a trade. But step up to the plate. Let’s see a trade you think gives both teams what they need at a price they’re willing to pay.

I can't. As I've said a couple times, I think it is impossible to make a trade with St. Louis involving Tkachuk that will give Calgary anything close to fair value. They simply do not have the necessary high-end pieces.
There is no permutation of St. Louis' assets that would come close to making a workable foundation for a trade.
