Trying to be as realistic as possible. Tatar is thrown in for cap purposes on NJD's end, and he'd likely just be flipped at the draft for another 2nd round pick for a net Tkachuk trade package of Mercer + Holtz + 2nd + 2nd.

I would be quite disappointed if the Flames do not get a 1st rounder in 2023 included. This has to be a core piece.
Jersey has to move more cap. They have Boqvist, Bratt, and Woods as RFAs. Boqvist is probably going to cost them $1.5-2M on a short-term deal. Bratt is going to get $5-6M and Wood will do no worse than his qualifying offer of $3.5M. So you're talking $10-12M in additional cap with those players. They need help with dumping cap to fit Tkachuk in.
