You lose one of those players? Okay, it’s going to take some super human efforts from our depth to overcome that. Two? No shot. No team can overcome that.

It's why Treliving is probably working extremely hard trying to get Tkachuk to sign a contract. I suspect that's what's holding everything up right now in regards to extensions to other players and maybe UFA signings. I suspect after the Gaudreau thing that he would be allowed by Edwards to move Tkachuk if he isn't willing to extend with the team rather than have a repeat of the Gaudreau situation which would be a near certainty with Tkachuk. How long will Treliving take this one down to the wire?
