Once it became clear that Tkachuk wanted a shorter term deal and Treliving bought into it, the AAV was always going to be low enough to fit him in.
I don't believe that Treliving wouldn't have preferred a longer deal (at least 6 years) at an AAV which would have meant he had to move someone.
Treliving likely plugged his nose and got the deal done. I don't think he had any choice.
