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.

Yup agree with all of the above (I mean if you make an argument that Tkachuk is a top 5 winger in the league I'd probably agree with it but that still isn't generational).
The 1st round picks thou... that is going to hurt them down the road. But Stanley Cup banners hang forever so they better make this window count.
