I hope you're right......

I'm guessing 5 years $7 million

It’s either a 2-3 year bridge or a LT 7-8 deal.

5 years is almost as a disaster as 4 would be.

Naw, it's totally fine. 5 years is a long time.

You think resigning the player to only one year of UFA and then letting him be able to walk after that is fine?

We definitely don’t have the same description of fine.

It’s fine by me. Feel free to disagree. Matthews signed the same thing in Toronto. Nobody is just sulking and counting down the days until he’s a free agent.

The sens cup window is the same as that contract would be. Nothing says he wouldn’t re-sign at the end of those five years either. Maybe he even declines at the end of it? 5 is a good compromise for both parties. If people don’t think he’ll be a big scorer, 5 is totally fine .

Thing is, the term is not the problem.

You just wait till matthews walks at the end of that deal. We won’t hear the end of it.

It was a stupid move by Toronto’s organization

Yeah and he’s requested a trade out of calgary.

I want Tkachuk on a 7 or 8 year deal. For better or worse.

What’s the alternative? A player doesn’t have to sign something he doesn’t want to

Provide links from reputable sources because I’m 100% sure that was made up

There were rumors he wanted out but nothing reputable. And I am not sure it was him really wanting out versus him not being happy with his teammates.

He certainly not happy. There were reports that some in the room were not on his side. It's a mess she I wouldn't be surprised if he at least thought of asking for a trade.

Thing is, we don't know what the problem is, and I'd be willing to bet that there are multiple problems.
