I'm not even sure how you can say that he deserves something between Forsberg and anybody. He's been a much more productive player than Forsberg. There is no comparison to be made there.

Tarasenko is not
easily better than all the others.
Arguements can be made for each of them in different ways. Even if one believed that Tarsenko was in fact the best player of the group, the difference in his cap hit compared to the others is still unjustified. His cap hit suggests that he is
significantly better than all the others. And that is highly debatable, to say the least.
You love Gaudreau, and that is great. You believe that he will continue to get better and better. And that is great. We all want that. And we all expect that.
But do you believe things are any different in Nashville? Preds fans no doubt are very confident that Forsberg will continue to get better and better. They have every reason to believe that he (along with Tarasenko) will be one of the best RWs in the game over the next decade. And who would argue with them?
We all believe that Johnny will be one of the best players in the league for years to come. But fans in other cities feel the same way about their players. At the end of the day, thy are all in a similar boat.
