Go hard after another good center.
Probably a long shot, but if Tkachuk’s long term contract demands are to high, I could see something like this going down.

Tkachuk for Kyrou is the new Johnny for Konecny. Except Kyrou looks even better on an even cheaper contract.
Tkachuk is certainly the better player now, but contract considerations bring trade value close to even. STL could extend Kyrou on July 1 - probably something like 8x7.5M or 3x6M, or they wait to see how he does next season and the price could go up or down. But next year at 2.8M is huge value.
Would they prefer Tkachuk at 8x9.5M instead? Kyrou is less certain, but that brings his AAV down.
