How do you not keep one of the better players in the game making $5.9M when you've made this your window. (Same argument for decimating their blueline in moving on from a cheap Weegar too)
So strange.

It feels like it’s just Bill Zito being enamoured with Tkachuk.
He called him a generational talent. I’m the biggest Tkachuk fan out there…but c’mon, he is not that.
Florida would be in a really good position if they didn’t have Bobrovsky signed to the deal that they do. If you were to look at their roster with Barkov, Tkachuk, Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett, Lundell and Knight all being in place it’s a pretty good core. Mix that in with the fact that they do have a massive free agent advantage and they should be pretty well positioned to win…but they’re saddled with a $10M goalie who doesn’t look to perform all that well come playoff time. That’s a poison pill.
Losing Weegar also really does not help…oh and not having a first round pick for what? 5 straight seasons? Yeah that’s going to catch up to them.
