If Brad Treliving is Edmonton's GM, none of those players have the contracts they do.

If Tkachuk wins an award, he can ask for more than the PPG Norris contender captain, and the perrenial All Star LW who plays Tkachuk's position on the first line.

Look, I love Chucky. A time is going to come where it's a real argument about who the best LW on the team is. Maybe we're already there and I just don't know it yet. But just from a negotiations perspective, knowing the GM, Matthew is going to need to bring hardware to the table if he wants more than Johnny and Gio.

If Chucky gets 82 points this year he is going to get more than Johnny and Gio long term. Otherwise 6.75M for 4 years is the deal I see.
