Teams wait for years and years to get players like MT.
Would walking him to UFA in 2 years be a boondoggle?
Or trading him for a lesser return [than now] in 1 year?

Just to be clear 3 years in Brady has never even matched Tkachuk’s rookie totals. Even this year when everyone was saying Brady is better Matty still scored 7 more points than his brother.

Brady is maybe a little bit quicker, bigger and tougher but Matthew is a better overall and offensive player.
Brady has actually matched Matt's rookie year 0.63 pts per game all three years, with a higher ratio of goals. Of course, Matthew increased significantly in the subsequent years...Brady is pretty much exactly as good as rookie Matty.
