If Tkachuk's camp has said these are our options:
- 3 year - 6 mil
- 5 year - 9 mil
- 6 Year - 9.5 mil
And so on (these are hypothetical numbers, insert your own estimations)... So Brad may be looking at this and thinking; 'If I can't clear more space we're likely looking at 3 years, if I can make a deal to move Frolik maybe we're looking more in the 5-8 year range'... Too many unknowns at this point to say whether things are going poorly.

If those are the options you do 6 for 3 years no matter what. Even if he gets 8 years at 11 in 3 years saving 3 mil a year for next 3 years would set us up to win now
If he wants out of town he is more likely to change his mind on that if this team is stacked for next 3 years.
If he has no long term interest in this team at all then I'd rather 4 cheaper years than 5 expensive years
