There is no chance Tkachuk gets more than 6.75 million per year. That being said, he could get 8x6.75 which I think he would take.

He is not a good enough skater to get more than that. I love the guy, and he may be this teams next captain, but he isn't getting more money than the top guys. Tree could have paid Mony and Johnny both 8, but he was smart and was able to get it done for less.

Calgary has an "internal cap" of 6.75 mill, and Tkachuk isn't going to to get more. Lets hope as Flames fans he doesn't. The guy is a huge part of the team, but is not worth more than 6.75 per.
