Tkachuk was the better player, younger with more upside, and the trade reflected that.
Actions speak louder than words...especially with Tkachuk. He bolted the first chance he got and I've heard from former teammates that he says whatever makes him look good in the media.
Hell at his season end press conference he said he wanted to sign long term and then asked for a trade a couple weeks later.
It's all lip service to make himself look good.

I've always seen Tkachuk as a BSer. His sulking and tanking a few seasons ago with Gaudreau was it for me. Whatever it was that bothered them was on management to come to their level to nip it in the bud, but after they sulked and didn't put in any effort game after game, I knew he wasn't a franchise player. In Florida he may have found his perfect fit and great that he didn't want to be vilified and told the truth eventually but I still don't like the guy. The Tkachuk's were always about going for the highest coin and talking big. Hate guys like that.
