I juts hate the attitude some people here are calling players like Tkachuk greedy and to quote - "smarten up these entitled money hungry millenials "

why is it greedy entitlement to want what was has become market value for your skills?

in the vast majority of cases, players should never intentionally sign for a discount. why give someone else your deserved piece of the pie?
someone else can give a discount. let the GM hardball some 4th liners and 7th defensemen instead.
it's a business and the team won't have any loyalty to you down the road.

kind of sucks, but that's what the game is now.
