Yeah, in reality I know that's the case, but man if Tkachuk signs 1 year and walks, losing both Gaudreau and Tkachuk for nothing is pain. You're also looking at potentially trading Lindholm and Hanifin with 1 year left each. Really wish Sutter had a chance to work longer with this group before getting to this point.
