He is a LW
Quinton Byfield 2020 #2 OA is the large centre the Flames need to build around. He was given 4th line minutes in the first 2 LA playoff games before being replaced by Rasmus Kupari.
Maybe LA would take Tkachuk for Byfield. Would the Flames be willing to wait a couple of years to see Byfield blossom. He isn't as impactful in his D+2 year as Tkachuk was in D+1 and D+2.

Nope.
Byfield was over hyped his draft year, I don’t see him ever getting 100+ pts in the NHL. People here hate players who can’t skate well, Byfield will be lucky to become a bigger Monahan, and I don’t even know if that will happen.
If you’re trading away Matthew it needs to make you better not worse.
We know what we have in Tkachuk and you know he’s put up a 100pt season in NHL.
