Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This isnt a Debate on IF he does or not
I dont care about your opinion or mine even on this subject

This about Exploring the overall COST it would take to move him
As well as what KEY to any trade bundle would be .
Example : Joe Sakic when selling his teams top 3 Centers said a top 4 D under 22 was KEY

This is for Intelligent Conversation or Debate
Its not an attack on CGY or an Insult from MTL
Its the first offer to start the conversation in
Order to find an actual package that works

Whether its MTL or another team making the trade , i dont care
The idea is to establish a Set Value

I dont Expect Tkchuck to re-sign longterm with only 2 years until he's a UFA.
I think for this reason teams wont pay as much as he could get similar to Pacioretty situation where he said outright he wouldnt sign long term and an LAK offer was removed from the table.

I'm offering up:
- A Level Defense Prospect
- B+ Level Goalie Prospect
- Depth Defensive Prospect with Speed
-1st round pick in 2021
-2nd round pick in 2021
-2nd round pick is Conditional if Tkachuk makes ECF with MTL in 2022 it becomes a 1st round pick in 2022 .

I'd give up more but Tkchucks hit 50+ points just twice
Its hard to over pay for a really good middle six winger
Like Gallagher his Goal Scoring gives him the added value that makes it worth it

Its most likely there's other teams willing to pay more
But none are close to being contenders and will stay that way outside maybe Ottawa.
They could get a Package in with a few solid pieces if they wanted to without sacrificing their future to do so.

Let me know what you think
IF you got a counter offer let me know and we'll barter
I'm not married to this trade its just a jumping off point
