The Gaudreau debacle has a lot of fans getting very upset with US born players who have been rumored in the past to "want to go home" to play. And the Tkachuks are notorious "negotiators" who would and do have a history of absolutely using wedges.
I like Tkachuk as a play maker and great hands. Is he a point a game guy career? Sign soon in a few weeks or trade him. Don't fall in love with players and fans should not tolerate another screw up sparked by "negotiating".
Swedes, Finns, Russians can go home and play in the KHL I suppose but Guadreau's actions have tainted the local trust worthiness of US born players lately.
I don't think he's under rated. I think he's being watched very clsoely now.
