I think all of the premium RFA's want the same AAV whether it's for 1 year, 3 years, 8 years, whatever.
For players currently in their prime, they don't see any reason to accept less than top dollar for their pre-UFA years, after the Matthews contract.
I think Treliving would love to sign Tkachuk for 8-years even at $8.5MM.
Tkachuck likely wants $8.5MM over 4-years and might accept 5.
