I fully believe Treliving should offer a 7-8 year deal with a deadline. Tkachuks intentions should be pretty clear from there.

But how do you trade an unsigned RFA? It’s not just a simple move by any means. You’d have to gauge interest from both Tkachuk and the other team right? Otherwise no team would be willing to pay what it would take to acquire him.

Would love to see an 8 year contract announced in the next little while but not sure that’s very likely.
