Players wanting to get to UFA as soon as possible is likely more about maximizing their salary, not necessarily about bailing.
Of course, the threat of bailing is what gives them maximum dollars.
I've seen nothing concrete that says that Tkachuk doesn't want to be here. It's all speculation that he might want to leave.
But I think it's very clear that Tkachuk, and the other premium RFA's, want maximum dollar not without giving up UFA years.
