Can we then wait for Monahan's $6.375M and Lucic's $5.25M to expire after next year to sign Tkachuk after his RFA? That's $11.625M in cap that comes back after Monahan and Lucic come off the books.

You can wait for sure, but then Tkachuk is in the same spot as Gaudreau now, where it would be odd to not test the market and see what the whole league will pay you.
