Tkachuk in particular was always planning on leaving as soon as he could and was flat out lying to media and fans. I not going to hate on the players for pursuing their careers in cities they wanted to live but I have more respect for the PLD approach as he's not lying to Jets fans and he's also doing the organization a favor by giving them a heads up and plenty of opportunity to plan on a future without the player on their roster.

Gaudreau did a tad more than lip service I’d say.
