I don't even debate that swapping Huberdeau for Tkachuk would improve their chances in the playoffs, but one player does not make or break playoff success. If it did, the Oilers would have a cup by now.

It's not a debate that Tkachuk is a better player than Huberdeau. It wasn't a debate at the time of the trade either, which is why Tkachuk was traded (with a 4th round pick) for not just Huberdeau, but also Weegar, Schwindt, and a first-round pick.
