People taking about paying Tkachuk $10m are sniffing glue. And not even good glue.
He good, but he’s not “3rd highest paid player in the world” good. Not even remotely close.
$9.5m is Ovechkin money. Nope.
Even at $9m, there’s only 6 players in the league making more than that.
$8.5m still puts in the top 10 highest paid players in the NHL.
He’s the 5th best player *on his own team*, and an RFA. And people are talking about giving him 35% more than Nathan Mackinnon?
No dice.
