Then Treliving needs to be prepared for Tkachuk to miss some of the season, perhaps.
But as long as a short term deal (2-3 years) is the same dollars as the longer terms offered, I imagine Tkachuk would go for it.
It's all about being paid top dollar now, and keeping the UFA flexibility to ensure maximum dollars down the road.
But if he signs, say a 3-years deal, he'll only want 2-years on his next one. it's just postponing the issue.
