Plus, IIRC, if a player chooses arbitration, doesn't the team get a choice of 1 or 2 years? if that's the case, no reason why these RFA's would chose to go, their choice would be to accept he QO to UFA or perhaps not but continue to negotiate. Or is my memory simply wrong on that?

If a player is a year away from gaining full UFA status, the team can only elect for a one-year arbitration award. At the end of this contract, Tkachuk will be a year away from being UFA-eligible.
