Tkachuk won't be traded to Buffalo for an LTIR. Ppl keep trying to make the numbers work like he isn't 6 months away from contact. Even if Eichel comes back around the trade deadline we only need to move out 3-4m in the coming months to fit him. (Pro-rated cap maths). Vegas isn't moving a big contract in the rumors, and they are in cap hell.
We are not going to tank our season to send a star player to Buffalo thus damaging their intentional tank. For a possible black ace.
