I do not believe they will let Johnny walk for nothing. He'll either be signed or traded. I truly believe that.

I think they will absolutely hold onto him at the deadline if they are in the mix. This team is all about winning now there is no other option so being on the bubble is the scariest situation for this team at the deadline. I really hope they are firmly in or out by March.
If this team just misses the playoffs or loses in round 1 I think Tkachuk absolutely requests a trade and Johnny will likely test the market. There is absolutely a reason to believe this team will put itself in a spot to potentially lose Johnny for nothing.
