Ovechkin, Bergeron, Kaprizov, Stamkos, Huberdeau, Marner, Josi, Panarin, McAvoy, Fox, Ekblad, the goalies. Lots of rooms for a list of 15 players that wouldn't include Tkachuk.

Age matters.

I mean, Ovechkin is a 1st ballot HOFer, but no one in their right mind would trade Tkachuk from him (unless the goal was to win now, and then blow it up - even then, bad trade)
