And yeah, I suppose if Buffalo’s been asking for two firsts like the rumours have been, this is a way they’d get it.
A lot has to do with negotiations with Tkachuk and the Flames’ opinion on his cost and potential of re-signing going forward.

Yeah but Hall was a disaster in Buffalo.
I hear what you're saying, but if I'm the Sabres, Tkachuk represents the best chance to add additional 1st round picks and more to the coffers.
While not completely submarining the first good start the team has had since the Obama administration.
