I think the Devils need to add to that package as well so the Flames could get more futures like Holtz who has too 6 potential.
I think Tkachuk is exactly the player the Devils want with Hughes so they would be highly motivated to acquire him and pay him what he wants.

If the Flames do trade Tkachuk (which I highly doubt will happen unless the cap forces it) I sure hope they get a lot more than the 2nd overall pick for him.
Imagine trading Tkachuk for what turns out to be Nolan Patrick version 2.0
This isn't likely a future Mackinnon we're talking about here.
