He made a huge offer to Gaudreau to keep him, and Gaudreau walked anyway at the last minute. Conroy gives the impression that the whole organization was shocked when that happened.

I don’t think Tkachuk ever planned on staying in Calgary long-term. And Treliving got the best deal available for him given his marching orders to remain a playoff team.
