I still think Tre should stand firm and it makes sense for Tkachuk as well

2 yr deal at 6.3.

Team which is a contender stays intact and doesn’t subtract a key asset, Tkachuk gets to play now, and he can try to cash in when the TV deal results in a step change in the cap

Maybe he is waiting for a few extra dollars to come available from the Valimaki contract?

But if he wants bigger dollars shorter term he can wait for them.
