you may be wondering, “Why would the Blues give up anything if they can get Tkachuk next summer when he becomes a UFA?” The answer is easy: because he’s expected to sign a long-term extension with another team before the Aug. 11 arbitration hearing and likely won’t be hitting the market next offseason. So if you want Tkachuk, you’d better get him now. You’d better bring your best offer.
