The Tkachuk's have a reputation as mercenaries, looking after their needs above all. There is nothing wrong with that, and I am far from salty ex-girlfriend on this subject. But I also tend to lean that what Tkachuk said was also lip service.
His old man wrote the book on negotiating contracts. There's little doubt in my mind he's been coached all his life on how to deal with that exact situation
