Tkachuk at least gave Tre time and notice to work out a deal.
Like I said earlier, I wonder how much better we would have fared in the playoffs the last few times we've been there, if our 2 best players actually wanted to be here.

The concept that he conspired to screw us over is juvenile. I understand the hurt. Here's the thing, the CBA and player rights kick in and these guys get to go to free agency. You could say Brad could have traded him earlier, but the rebound year put us in major contention.
Then, as my post says, we certainly had a nine lives cat landing.
We'll put you in the toxic fanbase category. Lol. Simply no enjoyment from the Gaudreau years is your vote.
