Trading Tkachuk now for a future first round pick is a crapshoot because who knows what number that pick will be. In the former case, we’d know for sure we’d be getting Wright once he didn’t go #1, and that would be the #1C we’ve never truly had since the 80s, and a perfect start to a proper rebuild with a franchise talent to surround.
Now that ship has sailed too lol.

Could trade Tkachuk to Seattle I guess...
