If Tkachuk gets offer sheeted next season, this may offer the best scenario.
The negotiation is done, and if overpay, let him go, and you get compensation (likely 2x1st, 2nd and 3rd—due for any contract $8.23MM to $10.27MM), if not an overpay, thanks for the contract.
Right now, the worry is the acceptance just of the qualifying offer, with no extra years or extension; a hefty contract that may be hard to deal for any real value…and then he walks for nothing.
