You know, kind of like the word has been Johnny was going to listen to other offers and consider a move to the east coast. Ignore these things at your peril.

Do you have anything substantial that says Tkachuk to NJ? I just don’t buy that was in the cards. I saw they were in talks with Chicago about Debrincat.
I also don’t think the Devils said there was a deal on the table. They said they had discussions about the pick. It’s anyone’s guess how close those discussions actually got to materializing into anything.
