I am really intrigued by the potential of a deal for Tkachuk and the number 2 pick if Shane Wright is available. He had some major hype before Covid but lost some development time. I see there being a risk that he turns out to be nothing close to what Tkachuk is today but if he has the potential to be a first line 2 way center that is one way to ease the cap crunch and plan for the future. I think the Devils need to add to that package as well so the Flames could get more futures like Holtz who has too 6 potential.

I think Tkachuk is exactly the player the Devils want with Hughes so they would be highly motivated to acquire him and pay him what he wants.
