Friedman was careful to not refute Rutherford (said he already crossed swords with another reporter for debunking their rumour) saying something like the only thing wrong with Rutherford's rumour of Tarasenko/Scandella was they weren't part of package to Calgary, but rather offered out to anyone to allow for Tkachuk trade. But Friedman never heard what St Louis offered. Rutherford sounds wishy washy.......

According to St. Louis insider Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic who spoke on the air of 101 ESPN, there was a significant offer made to the Flames for Tkachuk by the Blues, but Calgary refused.
It’s a significant package that was presented to the Flames, per Rutherford:
“(I) do hear things, like the Blues trying to put together a package of Jordan Kyrou, Torey Krug, and a first-round draft pick. Those types of packages to get a deal for Tkachuk…Was the deal accepted (by Calgary)? No, because the deal wasn’t made, but (I) hear things like that.”
