I'm not the biggest Treliving booster, but he's generally done a good job in retaining players on decent contracts...not so great on UFA contracts, however, that's always the issue with signing UFAs as opposed to developing your own players.
Tkachuk's contract has gotten some ire of late, but it was a different world back then. At the time, I think most fans thought it was a pretty reasonable contract...
As for Johnny, I am sure he is being earnest, however, cash is king... I think Brodie was more or less saying similar things at the same point in his contract as well.
