I see some people trying to minimize Tkachuk's effect on the Panthers. He may not be their best player, but he turned their entire culture around.
The Panthers were yearly 1st round exits when they had Huberdeau on the team. Tkachuk helped bring them to relevance in the playoffs.
Make no mistake, if you trade JUST Huberdeau for Tkachuk, the Panthers have no finals appearances and no cups in the last 2 years.
