6.75
8.25
8.25
8.25

8yrs @ $7.69M AAV, and the team's 6.75M Gio/Gaudreau cap becomes the 8.25M Tkachuk cap in 2023/24.

I would prefer 6.75 X 3, then 7.95 X 5 for a total of 60M, AAV 7.5M, with a modified NTC and lockout protection. Not sure this would get it done, but if anyone could do it, it would be Treliving.
