Not to the player, it isn't. From the player's perspective, it's a question of how much money they're getting paid. If Tkachuk were to make the same amount over his contract as Nylander, his contract will carry a 7.5M cap hit. That's what he'll be shooting for - probably more than that - and as he's better than Nylander, he'll likely get it. Unless he goes for more term, in which case the cap hit will be even higher.
