If I was the GM of another team, 8.1MM for 5 years plus a 1st 2nd and 3rd would look pretty attractive. If those picks are bottom half that would be way less than he's worth.
I think that also means that 8.1MMx5 might be the best possible outcome Tre can get...

Okay but what's the price point that the flames don't match at? If they are looking at this core as the group they could win with, and Matt is a expected to be a key cog to that success, surely 2 firsts a second and a third as compensation isn't all that interesting to them, as those picks are unlikely to help during that window. That means another GM could push Treiving "all in" at 10 mil. That final tier, regardless how much you like Tkachuk, 4 first would be hard to walk away from. So the better question is, would the flames still match at 10 million?
Also, if Ottawa came and offered Treliving 2 firsts, a second and a third as a trade offer for a signed Tkachuck today, would Treliving take it?
