I hope I am wrong, I just get the sense that he wants to go back East...and if that happens I think Calgary at that point becomes a long shot to make the playoffs.
Not sure Tkachuk is worth the investment it is going to take to sign him long term, Gaudreau drives that line and some of Tkachuks stats have benefitted from that.
The smart thing to do at that point would be to rebuild/retool...could be a quick turnaround as this team has alot of good assets and could be primed for the playoffs in a few years.
I get it that ownership or the coach does not want to go through a rebuild, but Gaudreau leaving changes everything
