It seems to me you want to trade Tkachuk to a team that is willing to pay far too much for him. Easier said than done.

I felt my point was pretty obvious. Due to this outlier year, Tkachuk appears to be a legit franchise winger, and other teams may pay that price. In reality, without Gaudreau, Tkachuk is not a 100 point player, and, IMO, his intangibles in the playoffs aren't all that spectacular. In fact, they often do more harm than good and serve to act as a distraction.
The Flames, therefore, may want to cash out and sell high on Tkachuk before he inevitably comes back down to Earth.
