Hard to find comparables considering age, position, production, etc.
Honestly, Draisaitl is probably the closest. He signed when he was 20, and had 51 and 77 point seasons under his belt. Tkachuk would have had over 51 last season and likely hits 77 that this season. Draisaitl also played winger a lot more earlier in his career. He makes $8.5M a season, so, yea, I think anything less than $7M/yr for Tkachuk is a bit of a pipe dream unfortunately.
