I agree. I was hoping that if we re-upped him this summer, we could get him on a 7/8yr deal @ ~$5.5M.
As far as his season high of 49 points, I believe it's a bit misleading. He hasn't had the prime ice-time that Gaudreau & Monahan were given in their first couple seasons. I think that if he were consistently on that top line, and given #1 PP time, that Tkachuk would already be a ~65pt winger.
