Keith Tkachuk is one of the highest paid NHL players of all time. Never any major award nominations or top 10 finishes in any award category other than then once. Yet was able to parlay multiple holdouts over his career into getting millions of dollars extra and being one of the top earners ever.
Does anybody think Keith looks back at any of those holdouts and regrets not being on the ice in those moments? That he wishes he never held out and took a team discount? Dude probably looks at his bank account, does a hearty chuckle and than makes sure his children to do the same. He knew his worth, knew how to get it, and he'll make sure both Brady and Matthew do the same.
Anybody who think M. Tkachuk will do any kind of discount to help the team is kidding themselves.
