So Tkachuk, without a contract, can only sign 7 years if he was traded.
Valimaki, signed for one more year, could be traded and then sign an 8 year extension immediately as he is signed through next deadline.
I imagine, like Karlsson prompting the new change, that Tkachuk's situation may prompt another change but currently it's 7 years if he's traded.

I thought is was changed to support the new team to have the ability.
CBA §50.8(b)(iv) shall be amended to provide that when a Club acquires a Player who is signed through the subsequent Trade Deadline, it can immediately sign him to an 8-year SPC without waiting until the subsequent Trade Deadline if otherwise permitted to do so under Section 50.5(f)
Maybe I am looking at an older version...
