I would really love to see Tkachuk staying in school for a few years becoming UFA and then the flames sign him. Doubt it would happen, but it would be perfect

Maybe yes, maybe no.
I’m suggesting the cost would be slightly above what would be generally considered fair, whatever that may be at the time.

The only way the Flames get him is if they miss the playoffs and then win the draft lottery. Oh wait -

You might be able to trade Backlund for that pick.

Depending on what team holds the likely spot he will go, how our D prospects grow this year and how well our top 4 performs I could see a package deal:

Brodie
Bennett
1st in 2019

Top 5 pick for Tkachuk

Gaudreau - Monahan - Jagr (1 more year)
B. Tkachuk - Backlund - M. Tkachuk
Ferland - Jankowski - Frolik
Brouwer - Dube - Lazar

Giordano - Hamilton
Fox - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone
Andersson

2 Tkachuks on one line has to be one of the worst things to try and contain.

I completely agree, but I’m not sure if that would be from an oppositions perspective or from a coaches perspective lol. I just think it might be worth ponying up to see what you’ve got with those two and how much of an impact they might make together.

Brady plays C and LW, imagine if Matthew went to RW and putting Johnny with those two? There’s no line in the league that would be able to ignore the brothers in their faces long enough to concentrate on Johnny’s skills.

He's a free agent at the end of the season. What bottom five team is interested in a pending UFA?

That is ridiculous overpayment imo.

We trading for a top 5 pick or Auston Matthews?

If Matthew is any indication, I hope he ends up in the Eastern Conference.

It would be lethal, and a blast to watch.

Even if we don't draft him, a free agent Tkachuk reunion could definitely happen.

The best brother to go after might be Mark Stone.

Hope so, Brady might find another gear but is most likely a 3rd liner with jam at best

I thought Brady was supposed to be better than Matthew.

Bennett and Kylington and eat a bad contract...
Something like that?
Bennett would have to have a strong finish though to have value

Congratulations. You just made perhaps the worst trade proposal in Calgary Puck history.

Then teams like Toronto would be loaded in talent and teams like Calgary and Edmonton (Peter Pocklington ring a bell?) would suck. Sounds fun.

We´d have a shot at drafting Tkachuk if Jim Benning had every single draft pick before we make our first pick
