Except everyone agrees that Draisaitl is overpaid, and that the overpayment was in part based on him centering his own line and thus providing top level scoring on two lines.
Tkachuk's comparables are top line wingers. Discounting Draisaitl and Giroux, the highest active RFA winger contracts are guys like Gaudreau and Hall at between $6-7M.
It is true that for upcoming seasons, you have Nylander's weird contract which, for most years is under $7M, Mark Stone at $7.35 (but only a 1 year deal), Wheeler at $8.25 (but he was to be a UFA).
