Not at all the same type of player, but a pretty strong comparable to him. Especially with Ehlers scoring 29 last year. Would be hard to argue that he's significantly worthy of more cash than Ehler at this stage of his career.
Of course then we have Draisaitl making 8.5M...

The only guy on your list that will be the heart and soul of the franchise might be Mackinnon.... but in colorado there was Landeskog who was made captain just before he turned 20. Landeskog got extended with a year left on his ELC (same situation as Tkachuk) 5.571 x 7 with the cap at 64.3
The cap has gone up to 79.5 and increase of 15.2M or 23.6 %
5.571 x 1.23639 = 6.89
890k yr premium to be captain over someone like Ehlers... seems
pretty reasonable. like a deal. just for talking to the press.
I think that pretty much everyone is boosting Tkachuk's scoring stats as he is the only guy on Oling's list ( outside of Larkin) that had as weak linemates as Backlund and Frolik.
Do the Flames wait a year and see what numbers puts up this coming season 60, 70 or 80 ?[/QUOTE]
