Best outcome in my eyes is to target teams like Ottawa and New Jersey. Teams who have a recent history of picking near the top but are now looking to contend. Perhaps NYR fits into that as well (Kaako?).
Hopefully at the end of the day we're talking about a top-prospect (Sanderson? Holtz?), a 1st round pick, and some more...

You need to look up cap space and explain again how this won’t be a hockey trade. Not sure which teams have $11M to throw at Tkachuk right now? Ottawa has 17 players signed and 11.6M in cap space. I also don’t see Chucky wanting to go to the team where his little brother is captain and they haven’t made the playoffs in 5 years. The Devils have 9.6M in space with 19 players signed but still have their top winger Bratt to sign and Wood.
Contending teams looking for a shakeup are the likely targets. Maybe there are useless cap dumps there but I don’t think the flames are looking to take on any long term bad deals.
I think the Devils could work something out if they part with Bratt in the deal.
