Kyrou+Tarasenko+2023 1st for Tkachuk + 2023 4th (full disclosure, not 100% sure Calgary has their 4th in 2023)
Bratt+Holtz+2023 1st for Tkachuk

Oh I expect the return to me good, just not "stud piece under 25, multiple first round picks and good prospect" good.
I'm not sure what the value of Tarasenko is right now. At the deadline he'd fetch a 1st round pick. For a full year? Teams with an interest in him likely couldn't fit him in until the deadline.
It really depends on (1) if Tkachuk is actually interested in signing along term contract prior to UFA; and (2) if he's interested in doing so with more than one team.
If Tkachuk says I'll only sign prior to UFA with, say, the Blues, his values craters considerably. if he mentions 2 or 3 teams, that helps the Flames immensely.
