Utterly perplexing.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the best offer for Tkachuk was high draft picks what this season would have looked like. There would be no Weeagar, Huberdeau, or Kadri and Monahan likely still on the team. Possibly a player like Pelletier in the lineup. The team would be considerably worse of course and probably in the Bedard sweepstakes. Things would have felt bleaker right now but I'm not sure it would have been the worst thing for the organization long term as they would have have multiple 1st round picks in a pretty good draft and a lot of cap space going forward.
