What do you mean by lowball? Is there any evidence that Tkachuk was as good as gone once he signed that contract and if that is accurate why didn’t they trade him right then anyway?
I don’t think it’s quite as clear as you like to think it is, with the benefit of hindsight, no less.
You’re also assuming that Tkachuk would have been happy to stay for more money and more term. That’s pretty speculative.
