I'm not saying Tkachuk should (or will) get $10 million, but $8 million probably isn't unreasonable. I'd rather the Flames pay him now than when he's past 30.

If I was starting a team today and had my choice of Flames to pick (with their existing contract situation), the 2 that would be at the top of my list are Tkachuk and Hanafin.
But it's clearly open for debate to put Johnny there.
