Stutzle's still on his ELC, 5 years away from being a UFA, and just put up 0.73 ppg in his 2nd year in the league as a 20 year old.
Stutzle has legit franchise C potential, which is exactly what this franchise has been missing for 30 years. Of course there are no guarantees but this is one of the best possible swings you could take to get one.
Age matters, contract matters, POSITION matters.
Yes Tkachuk is a great player, 1st line winger no doubt but as a Flames fan if you haven't learned the importance of a stud C vs a stud winger over the last 30 years i don't know what to say.
If a Stutzle for Tkachuk straight up deal was on the table i'd drive Matthew to St. Louis to send the entire Tkachuk family on the same flight to Ottawa together.
