For everyone using the $9M qualifying offer as an argument, you are simply wrong. A team can choose team elected arbitration instead of submitting a QO to a player like Tkachuk. In that case he will be awarded at least 85% of his previous year’s salary. For Tkachuk it was something like $7.6M, I can’t remember.

I am willing to bet anyone that Tkachuk won’t get a $9M QO, unless he has a career year this season. I think it is far more likely he will come in under or around $8M if it is a one year deal.
