If you can get #2 for Tkachuk I do that deal ALL DAY LONG. And then I draft Logan Cooley to get a potential #1 centre. Not Slafkovsky.
This is the kind of deal where you're not losing in short term and can extend the window. Team needs more cap flex and a high pick, ELC would go a long way to adding flexibility.
