I get locking up 24 year old but this was their shot and now they will just be pretty good longer but not as good ever. Its like if the Avs made a major move after losing in the 2nd round with an unreal team. Playoffs are crazy, the line is so fine. Panthers will be good, highly doubt they are anywhere near last seasons point totals.
That division is no joke

They gave up too much to get him, zero doubt. And Tkachuk may never score this many points again.
But one thing about Tkachuk, I do think he eventually figures out the playoffs. Unlike Gaudreau, his game
should translate. I do believe that and if you're a good team that can't get over the hump in the playoffs, seems like a reasonable bet to make. He replaces Huberdeau and in their minds, will be better than him in the playoffs. So question is whether they can replace the blueliner.
