Tre isn't simply going to let Tkachuk rot for a year and significantly limit his team. It's not that simple at all. Something will get done eventually. It's his ass on the line as well if the team takes a step back because he couldn't get a deal done as much as it is on Tkachuk.

Nobody says that your guaranteed contract is being offered.
On the flip side, Tkachuk can decide on Dec 1 if he would like to take zero of the 6 million dollars he was offered for the year.
That’s what a negotiation involves. If you are going to take a position, you accept the potential consequences. I’m glad Tre is doing his job and not you
