1) among top 6 for TOI among forwards
2) 20 or more goals
3) 35 or more assists
4) 60 or more points
5) .73 or more points per game over a minimum of 42 regular season games
6) among top 3 forwards in +/-
7) end of season all-rookie team
8) selected to play or plays NHL all-star game
9) NHL All-star game MVP

Tkachuk reached conditions 3 + 6 in 2016/17.
Was .63 pts/game, so close to condition 5
Was 20 seconds per game behind the 6th forward for condition 1.

So it is realistic for Tkachuk on his own to get $850k in performance bonuses if he has a slightly better season than last year.
Yeah, that's if he stays on Backlund's line. If they move him to Bennetts line, it would make that a good line too and maybe save the Flames some money.
