I expect he'll want to go UFA anyway, unless someone overpays badly in advance.
Playing hardball with Tkachuk will not get you anywhere. He has all of the leverage.
Don't go into a gunfight with a jack knife.

Why would he want to just “go to UFA anyway” if he’s on the Blues?
Or the Rangers?
Or Bruins?
Or Capitals?
Or Kings?
I’d expect he couldn’t sign on that dotted line fast enough.
You can’t trade him to Buffalo or Columbus, fine.
But you’re not playing hardball saying “give us five teams you’d like to go to” when the guy doesn’t even have a NTC.
