So basically he's saying that to keep Tkachuk's cap hit low the team should make sure he doesn't play with and gel with two top tier players, underperform and take the chance of winning less this season? Bizarre.

Stunting a players development by withholding opportunities, for the purposes of having a more cap friendly salary, is an unacceptable act.
