Oh, I agree with you.

I wonder if part of the plan isn't to extend their window long enough to build up some marketing momentum, instead of letting things fizzle out as they did after 1996. Maybe they think having Tkachuk there to run his mouth in the media for eight years will help put more bums on seats. If so, they could be right.
