I don’t think negotiating your RFA years like this is a sign of exit that you think it is. It’s just a new reality in the league for star players who want to get that max FA contract. Instead of going to UFA and getting that big contract they can get a big short term RFA contract and then an even bigger UFA contract. I just think Tkachuk had a mix of not liking the franchise/coach which made him open to leaving.
