JG 6 years @ $40.5M
Tarasenko is 8 years @$60M

IF Johnny got the Tarasenko deal:

-$6.75M per year for first 6 years
-$9.75M per year for year 7 and year 8

Not sure I would do that deal, as there is a risk of something going off the tracks - Dion went off the rails after the big signing (not same player, not same situation, but sometime growth stagnates). $9.75 for a player is a LOT of money.
