You do that and immediately im guessing you are going to want further corroboration which likely leads to killing it as a "story"....no?

Yes, absolutely. In days leading up to the actual trade being finalized last night, the Sabres were backing off the idea of just futures based on their strong start to the season. And Tkachuk is a heck of a player. So he absolutely made sense from a cap perspective for the Flames and an impact player for the Sabres.
