It seems natural that he would distinguish a former first round pick from other prospects who were not selected in the first round.

Well hopefully unless he is distinguishing an NHLer who was a former first round pick vs. prospects. A prospect can be a former first round pick.
Let's face it, we are parsing words. The identity of those prospects is potentially a big factor.
In any case, the Weekes rumor has the smell of truth about it. We know from observation that Treliving is more comfortable trading guys who don't want to be here anymore. I suspect that describes Tkachuk.
