Larkin Has Five Years Left and Is Giving Up His Pay. Kucherov Has Eight Months Left and Holds Every Card. Tampa Sits in the Middle of Both
Two franchise players forced their way out within about 30 hours.

The leverage in these standoffs runs opposite to the contract length, and the Lightning are on Larkin's list.
