I have zero doubt that Tkachuk would like and asked for a 5 year deal at most. Preferably 4, but that isnt happening.
That would maximize his UFA value, and there is no reason he wouldn't want that.
I still see this as a 6 year deal max, but the money will be harder to figure. No way anything is done til at least a few days after the 1st of July, and seeing if any offer sheets are tabled. If the rumblings are true about Marner, then I suspect MT comes in north of 9...maybe 10. Would be nice to get him at 8.5 but it just feels like that ship has sailed.
