His PR handled it much better than Gaudreau, he knew long ago he had no desire on staying here.
Guadreau had lots of conflicting thoughts because he did like it in the city. Tkachuk had no conflict in getting out as soon as he could.
To each their own but if you care about what players think of the city and team, Gaudreau cared a lot more about his legacy here with the team and city then Tkachuk did.

I think it may be more of a case of Tkachuk not fitting in with the team. Sutter's comments about him spending a lot of time at the rink with not a lot of places to go makes me think he just didn't fit. I hope he does well and can enjoy his career in Florida. I am not into booing players, but it is all part of the game and probably ads to the excitement. I am sure Tkachuk won't take it too seriously he has been booed for being good at what he does.
