Tarasenko is a team guy, and at 31 years of age when this contract ends will probably sign another at the same hit on a four year term (guessing). He is such a team guy that he put up ridiculous numbers for a team that he has an active trade request with, that screwed up his shoulder surgery and cost him a year of playing time. He is a legit top line right wing anywhere in the league.
Bolduc put up 99 points, good for 8th in the Q. He probably plays one more year there as an overager, but is trending to have a downside of a second line two way centre.
1st in what is rumoured to be a deep draft. Add another prospect like Neighbors and that's a good return that keeps the team competitive.
If Tkachuk goes to the QO and not an extension, we might as well start thinking of him as a rental. So, his trade value is at an absolute peak right now. If he signs, this is all meaningless drivel anyway.
