Gaudreau was lost. Tkachuk wanted out. He made an asset gaining transaction.
Happy they lost Gaudreau? No
Happy they won this trade? Yes
They don't have to be connected into one package for me.

I get that, but it’s very much connected to me. I’m not necessarily ragging on the pieces of the trade specifically, more so the direction of the trade. Like I said, I would’ve preferred the team go the route of trading for young A+ prospects who could’ve turned into franchise players for a decade +
I do understand at the very least, Huberdeau and Weager could be moved for additional pieces which would contribute to the overall picture. Altogether, the fear still remains that the players could play out the year, end up with a quick playoff exit and be lost to free agency with the team ending up with very little to show for Matthew Tkachuk. But that would be the worst case scenario.
