Since the beginning of the New Year he has 6G 11Pts in 15 games. Tkachuk has scored at the same rate as Michael Backlund, and less than TJ Brodie.
I don't think he is getting $8 m.

He is still over a ppg. He is on a cool streak but still is on pace for 85pts as a 20/21 year old. Better than Monahan, Gaudreau etc at the same age.
