Yeah, I think the Tkachuk trade was a good trade of someone who didn't want to be here. The problem was the desperate signings. If they had flipped both players received either immediately or at the deadline they get a total of 3-4 firsts for Tkachuk, and maybe some lower picks if they retain. That plus the ability to take on expiring bad contracts for assets with the cap space could have super-charged a rebuild. Pick 3x in the first round for a couple years and you'll have a deep prospect pool.
