Tkachuk has 57 points in 53 games, and is +12. Matthews has 47 points in 39 games, and is +2. Tkachuk usually plays a shutdown roll, is an absolute pain in the ass, has a better +/-, and seems to stay healthier than Matthews. So tell me again why Tkachuk is worth 3 million less a year than Matthews. It's an argument that just doesn't hold water.
