Keith Tkachuk "won" about $81,338,674 in career earnings...that's pretty significant right there. Signing discounts is no guarantee of anything from a team success perspective, and quite frankly when you're looking at the "recent" history of the the two teams the Tkachuk brothers play for...why would they consider signing for anything below absolute top market dollar? Neither team has shown they can build a team that can win anything. Even if the Tkachuk brothers did give a discount, these teams would likely go spend that extra money on players like Troy Brouwer or James Neal.
