If he can get bigger money somewhere else, I believe he will. I think the St. Louis Blues know that, which is why most of the discussion about trading Tkachuk to the Blues has come from fans, not from insiders.
If the Blues want Tkachuk badly enough to outbid every other team in free agency, they will get him. There's no point in sending out big assets before then.
