Love Johnny. Wouldn’t blame him at all if he wanted to make a childhood dream come true and play for Philly. Don’t really blame any players for using the leverage they can to get what they want. It’s not like teams treat them with much loyalty. I also don’t blame him for hard balling while he can if he wants a big pay day. Treliving hardballed him when he could so why not? No bad blood just business. Johnny deserves to be paid, I’m happy to do it if he wants to stay.
Tkachuk I’m not loving his cost. Would have been ecstatic to see him traded for Eichel, but alas, here we are. We do need a top end player that can keep up with MacKinnon, McDavid, and now Eichel. Don’t know where he comes from. Maybe Markstrom can be that xfactor? Maybe Kylington can become something of a Karlsson? Things happen so who knows.
