Yeah I agree with this as I just listened to it too. Didn't see it as Tkachuk saying Gaudreau isn't excited (he said that Johnny is really excited and happy) but just mentioned that the guys he talked to are even more excited about Johnny arriving. From his comments, Johnny is happy in Columbus.
Tkachuk clearly loves the Florida lifestyle, mentioning seeing the ocean when he was at the hotel and how much he enjoyed the ocean smell, the beach, etc. Made me wonder why Brady didn't force a move too, but they are different people and maybe Brady doesn't necessarily care about that I guess. Brady also isn't nearly as desired on the market compared to Matthew so that may have something to do with it too.
Agree with those that Tkachuk's comments about Sutter were dodgy.
I liked hearing that Tkachuk talked to Backlund throughout the situation and talked about how underrated a player he is and how he wouldn't be the player he is if it weren't for Backlund and Lindy.
