Perceived "elite" talent? Because Tkachuk ain't elite. One good season does not make him elite. He's slow afoot, undisciplined, and doesn't play a structured team game. The only thing he's elite at is trying to make cutesy plays between his legs which result in turnovers. Elite. Name something other than #### disturbing he's elite at.
Sure. Tell that to Quebec/Colorado. Set their team up for a decade of domination. You make a deal that fills gaps, you're always going to do well.

Some more recent trades where the team getting ‘quantity’ did better than the team getting ‘quality’ are the Max Pacioretty trade and the Erik Karlsson trade.
