No one on the team does what he does, like he does.
30 other teams would give him what he asks for his next contract....
That being said.....same contract as JG and Monahan. Same length as well.

The thing here is that we can—and I think we all do—agree on how absolutely critical Tkachuk is to the Flames, and how valuable a player he is overall. But the Flames are really fortunate in that with how NHl contracts and salaries are negotiated he has not registered the kind of numbers (yet) to worry terribly about how much he will be paid. I hand him $6.0 m on a long-term deal in a heart beat, and I think that is also an easily achievable number based on his league-wide comparables.
