So talk to Tkachuk and get three or five destinations where he wants to go.
Then you’re talking about 8 years of Tkachuk’s services instead of one, and that’s worth more.
Tkachuk can’t still want to test UFA just for the sake of it after watching Gaudreau end up in Columbus for $15M less than Calgary offered.
So if he can go to St Louis and get his $72M, I think he’d take that.
Tkachuk - signed - 8x9.25M ($1M more than Brady’s AAV)
For
Tarasenko (expiring $7.5M)
Barbashev (expiring $2.25M)
C - Zachary Bolduc - 19 year old 1st round pick in ‘21, had 99 points in the Q with Rimouski this year.
1st - 2023
Maybe Tkachuk is “worth more” but two 1st, and two guys you could turn into 1sts/2nds at the deadline is a win at this point.
