That's the new reality, like it or not.
Treliving's contract to Tkachuk is within similar parameters of what other similar RFA's are getting. This is not one of the Wizards excellent deals, but it is, more or less, comparable to what every similar RFA is getting.
Every contract cannot be a huge win. But this is not a bad one either.

Im personally fine with this reality. It gives both sides more options earlier, which is a good thing in sports when things can change quickly.
Much more palatable than the crazy 8 year deals, IMO.
