I wouldn't! I'd rather have a Coleman + Toffoli/Hoffman instead of Tkachuk + Ritchie/Lewis, but that's me. I'd even rather have the capspace than over pay for Tkachuk, not after last season. If Tkachuk is a PPG LW this season, then maybe he is worth it. Tkachuk didn't take over nearly enough games to justify such a contract. Especially if(and that's a big if) the dip in play truly came from him quitting on the team after the puck incident... then he can do it again especially if he knows he has all the leverage with his contract.
