Tkachuk didn’t want to play on a 1 Year deal, so it takes away the distraction.
After this season, Lindholm, Tanev, Hanifin, Backlund, and Toffoli have 1 year to UFA.
Without a Huberdeau extension, I imagine the rebuild/fire sale begins next off-season…or perhaps this coming trade deadline.

Now that I've had a bit of time to think about it, you're probably right. Still feels like we've added the value of about 3 first round picks here though. I was preparing for the worst from a Tkachuk trade.
We already have a first and a descent prospect. Huberdeau, even as a rental, will bring a massive haul at the deadline. Plus Weager...
