I don't think we'll end up in a situation where Tkachuk misses any time. If Tree can't cut cap in any trades that improve the team, I'd be surprised if there a bridge deal can't get done rather quickly. If we keep everything the same, and get Tkachuk on a bridge, we'll be below the cap comfortably and can ice a full roster. Use the Gio-cap for the bridge deal, and see if you can't do 3 years. Not ideal, as term is undoubtedly desired - but Tkachuk likely wants to get his long-term deal done when the new US TV deal is in place.
