He's good enough to help you get to the playoffs but his efforts kind of end there. Tough decision for the organization and for him as well as it's not working for him here in the playoffs.

There was an interesting fan question on the Athletic podcast the other day.
Tkachuk for #2 overall. Which team does it?
I think the contract considerations probably means NJ doesn't. But it still is an interesting thought exercise.
I'm still of the mind to re-sign Johnny if he'll sign here, and then trade out Tkachuk and possibly Eat Bread.
