It's pretty unlikely that he would have only brought a 3rd round pick with a year left at at 6.75M and they wouldn't have had to rebuild the entire team, he would have (or at least should have) brought back a good return. This isn't hindsight, plenty of people were calling for him to be extended or traded prior to his NTC kicking in. Regardless, here we are with no player and not even something as crappy as a 3rd round pick to show for it. If the Tkachuk situation doesn't get solved by some miracle this team really will need a rebuild and will be in a worse position.
