Do you sacrifice a season in your winning window to send a message to Tkachuk or to avoid having to eat a pick to move Frolik?

Seems downright idiotic.
Imagine a situation where Treliving tells Tkachuk’s agent that in order to pay him market value on a long term deal, he’d have to trade Frolik and send a second round pick with him in order to clear the full cap space needed.

That somehow would motivate Tkachuk to sign a year deal for less money? That seems far fetched to me. He must really like Frolik.
