Well the good thing with a three year deal is he wouldn't have to negotiate at all. Tkachuk would just file for arbitration and be gone as a UFA as early as possible. That's why a three year deal makes no sense. Even a four year deal would be better as at least you get certainty instead of Tkachuk getting some massive arbitration awarded one year contract in 'year four.' But there's really no excuse for Brad to give him three or four years.
