No guarantee Tkachuk hits his prime that same way without the motivation of a contract year.
But, cool...would have been awesome if we still had him signed for 2 more years (he was never signing more than 6 years) and now we could trade him for a much worse return than we got a year ago...because we can be pretty sure he'd take the opportunity from the toxic last season to get the hell out of here.
