Tkachuk has had some excellent defensive metrics since he entered the league and was on the Flames shutdown line. I don’t see how trading Tkachuk for lesser pieces makes the line or team better. If they need to do it for cap reasons hopefully they are trading him for someone who can potentially be better so a younger player with high upside. Similar to Hamilton for Lindholm/Hanifin

We cant afford both unless we can dump both the Lucic and Monahan contracts without absorbing any big cap hits in return. How do you figure we do that?
We also then cant re-sign Mangiapane
Love Tkachuk but with a 9M minimum qualifying offer, and Johnny due for 10M+ how do fill out a bottom 6 and bottom 4 D with almost 0 dollars.
For clarification I want to keep both.
