There's no way that trading Tkachuk was anything but the right thing to do, and I don't think anyone could really dispute that the return was great given the circumstances. At this point, Florida looks like the winner from a zero-sum perspective, but both teams made good moves according to their own needs in that exchange.
The biggest winner was actually Tkachuk. I would love to be his age, with that contract, living in Miami and playing hockey for a living. Sounds great.
