Correct, they contributed to the run but Tkachuk is their 5th...maybe 4th best player in terms of impact on this cup. Flames would be better with him but nowhere near a cup. Preventing the Oilers championship might be worth it.
Huberdeau's cap aside if you traded Huberdeau/Weegar for Tkachuk tomorrow how much better would the Flames actually be? They certainly wouldn't be contenders and would have a massive hole on D. If only Brad didn't give away the first the trade wouldn't even look bad.
