Andersson moves up to play with Gio, Kylington plays with Valimaki, Hamifin stays together. Dube, Jankowksi and Bennett have to grow up, and Neal plays with Backlund/Tkachuk.
Tkachuk is unlikely to get more than $6.75M per year, given what Johnny and Gio are making. Bennett, based on early returns, is not going to be worth much more than $3M.

If Tkachuk breaks 70pts this year wouldn't he be in Draisaitl's league? Or is Draisaitl that much better?
If the former is true, why wouldn't he ask for Drai money?
