I don’t think Tkachuk can be the centerpiece of a championship, and attempting to sign him to a large contract (which he will want after a 100 point season) means that he will be paid like the centerpiece.
If he agrees to sign, I see the org trying to spend to the cap around him, probably consigning us to the bubble-tier for the length of his contract.
