I'm a bit concerned about the prospect of trading Tkachuk. The type of player he is, is incredibly hard to come by. I get the meh playoffs he had but I want to see another playoffs from him as I believe he has a ton of hockey IQ and he will learn from this year. This was really his only playoffs so far as he was hurt last time and missed almost all of the games.
My preference is that if they can, re-sign both Johnny and Tkachuk. Build around them don't trade either of these guys if you can help it, hoping that the prospects/picks you get back turn into players like them one day.
