These young guys have caught on. They don't sign for what they are worth now. They sign for what they will be worth in a couple years. So many contracts in the past were signed to only become great deals for the team's in a year or two (Gaudreau, McKinnon, Pasta..) I think we will start to see more and more players hold out for a season to get what they deserve.

I bet you are incorrect - I just think Treliving will do better than that. Personally, I'd rather see a 3rd year player hold out than overpay him for "future production" which may never pan out. And if he holds out, I'm not signing him for the whole year. That was a huge mistake with Nylander. Also, Tkachuk has no arb rights, plus 5 years buys what - only one UFA year? To me this is either a 3 year deal or 7-8 year deal. If it's 5 it's less than 8.5.
