That was because Treliving decided to prioritize bad UFA signings like Neal and Brouwer over Tkachuk. If the option is retain 1.5 million or keep Kadri's full contract then you retain or else that contract might stop you from signing someone if he is still hitting the cap at 7 million. If you can take a bad contract that is shorter that would be ideal.
