A veteran or leadership group asking him to tow that line and be more selective to pick his spots is precisely the message he should be getting!
If this is truly the triggering point for a trade request, I don't even know what to say to that. It's beyond immature.

Exactly this. If a veteran like Lucic has seen enough of Tkachuk’s antics, well I’d say that means Tkachuk needs to listen or out the door he goes. This does not mean we have a compete problem or anything like that. It just means the players aren’t backing him anymore.
