Nah. No way Buffalo wants a year of Tkachuk for $9M only to see him fly the coop or get traded with significant retention for a mediocre pick. He's nothing in their long term plans.
And Tuch v. Mangiapane? Tuch has a rehabilitation risk with his shoulder. But other than that, a locked in great contract, a similar point production, size speed and he's a home town kid.
