Are players always UFAs once their offer sheet contracts expire?

Players usually enter free agency seven years after signing their ELCs. There are a lot of other rules attached to it, but for Tkachuk he will hit UFA in four years. If he signs for less term than that he would still be RFA, but if he signs for 4+ years he will be UFA.
