Why compare to any external teams when we've already established that:
A) Johnny had more impressive seasons before his second contract than tkachuk has had
B) Tkachuk hasn't yet shown he can drive an offensive line on his own
C) Johnny's 6 year contract was worth 9.6% of the cap at the time.
I think that immediately sets his maximum worth to this team at ~7.6 per season at 6 years. That's if you believe he is as valuable to team success as Johnny. I think most would argue he is still (at this point) slightly less valuable to this success.
