Tuch at 5 yrs x 4.75 is better asset than the mess that Tkachuk's contract has become? It would seem that Tkachuk is a better more talented hockey player except for the playoffs.
To me this trade shows the value of a value contract.
What would have the Sabres wanted from the Flames?
Lindholm ( the Flames best value contract) and Coronato or Zary instead of Krebs and the draft picks?
What other value contract compares to Tuch?
Not trading Tkachuk for Eichel really leaves the Flames in a bad spot going forward.

So 4.75M for a guy who has averaged 45pts per 82 games over his career is a value contract?
I do not think Tkachuk was offered recently if he was it was back in the summer
