What will most likely happen is Tkachuk will play himself into a salary range by years end and that will more or less determine what he gets paid. Let's say it's (just making numbers up) 85 points and experts say "This should be a $8.7mil contract over 8 years".
We'll likely wake up one day after some long, tough negotiations lasting into September, possibly October and see an announcement of $8.4-8.9mil AAV.
