I wouldn't be so sure. Gaudreau's actions may have indirectly awoken BT. This deal makes me believe he is going to start treating these guys like the assets they are.
As big of a BT hater as I am, I just can't see BT rolling the dice again on a very valuable pending UFA if he's not signed on the dotted line. Tkachuk can't turn into Schwindt and a 2025 protect 1st. If one or both isn't signed I think he will move them considering how much value they have.
I'm sure he will do everything in his power to sign them up until he needs to go to plan b.
