Reading the Francis article he just wrote it seems like he is very convinced Tkachuk is getting dealt shortly. If his heart is set on St. Louis it is a tough deal to make. O’Rielly+Kyrou is really the only deal that makes sense from a cap perspective for the Blues and players without trade protection. Thomas was just extended so he is off the table and is Matt’s best friend. RoR only has a year left and older while Kyrou would be the main piece for the Flames. The Blues would have enough cap to give Chucky 10x8 and fill out the roster with minimum salary players.
