I think it really depends on whether Buffalo needs a well known name to make the trade more palatable to fans. And on the Flames, Tkachuk is probably the most well known name to a casual fan. Maybe Gaudreau, but I don’t think he waives for Buffalo. After Tkachuk, it’s Monahan. Buffalo can point to multiple 20-30 goal seasons and say “see - we got a star back”.
