This reads like they chose to trade him...they didn't he refused to sign here

Also, nobody is blaming them missing the playoffs on Tkachuk...they did give up a lot from a presidents trophy winning team though. "Retooling" after trading years worth of 1sts including an unprotected 2023 first is incredibly risky.

Time will tell if they will be a contending team again in the next while...I suspect they will have a hard time getting there without any draft capital.

The older teams like Boston and Tampa are way better than them and teams like Buffalo and Detroit have far better prospects and young players and will only be adding.

IF the Panthers go on a run in the next few years it was a good move FOR THEM...but if they don't it can certainly be argued they should have ran it back. Time will tell.

I can assure everyone Zito didn't expect to miss the playoffs with a 2023 first in Montreal unprotected...this was not the plan.
