Hopefully not all of them at once, and hopefully not until a trade deal is actually on the table.
If they let Tkachuk talk to all the teams on the list and one is offering $9 million AAV and the other is offering $10.5 AAV, Tkachuk could then just turn around and take one (or more) of those teams out of the mix and pull the plug on any deal Treliving was working on.
Treliving needs to wait until they are about to pull the trigger before letting him negotiate with another team. And hopefully other teams on his list don't start leaking that they are interested, because if Tkachuk preferred one over the other, he could shorten his list.
