Instead of Lindholm he gets Bennett, instead of Gaudreau he gets Balcers. Just a slight downgrade -- no Barkov for you.

Because Tkachuk isn't a third liner, and Bennett could never overtake Monahan and Backlund.
I guess we'll see how Bennett's game has rounded out, Tkachuk has always benefitted from strong two-way centres in the past.
