Fair trade. I don't think the GMs will be bold enough to do this kind of trade, but I like it.
I get where the argument that Marner would be redundant comes from, but I still don't buy it. Marner is an elite talent that would help the Flames right now. And Calgary is already a team of goons, up to their goaltender (no offense), so it's not like they desperately need the grit that Tkachuk brings to the game.
Meanwhile, Tkachuk and Matthews would mesh together well on the same team.
As for the difference in contract $, you can count on Dubas to give a mammoth contract to Tkachuk in 3 years.
