Yeah, this is what I thought it was. Tkachuk is now in the mode that allows offers to be entered to ensure he has a qualifying offer to prevent him from becoming an unrestricted free agent, but he won't actually accept any of them. (You can tell it's entered this mode because you can no longer ask him for a response, only submit an offer.) The refusal email will always refer back to the offer that existed when he originally broke off negotiations, not the newest one you made. The only thing making another offer at this point will do is get the offer checked to see if it's a valid qualifying offer, and if so preserve his restricted free agent status on July 1. He won't actually give you a real response to a new offer until "Ask for Response" becomes available for selection again on the Action menu.
