At some point you are going to have to pay someone an obscene amount of money to score. The secret is to find the guys that want to be here long term and are willing to sign that deal. Gaudreau isn't one of those guys, and I suspect that we will be having similar discussions about Tkachuk in the future.

Honestly, after Gaudreau, Tkachuk is the next biggest American flight risk Treliving is going to have to deal with. The guy is in a position now where he can turn down all offers except the qualifying one and be a free agent at 25 years old (3 more seasons) and then sign a 7 year deal wherever he wants.
