Tkachuk's comparables have been brought up many times, and they don't make $9M a year.
This board is pretty adamant Leon Draisaitl is a bad value contract at $8.5M because he doesn't produce at a 100-point level when he's in the middle or away from McDavid.
We're in a rush to pay Matthew Tkachuk more than Leon Draisaitl for... No reason. Potential? I don't think so.
I remember when Gio's ask started with a 9. He didn't get it. If Tkachuk is asking for 9, he won't get it. And I suspect he knows that.

Different time. Different economics. All these guys are far different players, none of them are any less important to their teams success. I'm not buying into a bunch comparable players brought up on CP as justification for a lower contract either. There's no way anyone is telling Tkachuk he's worth less than Draisatl when he's younger, doesn't play with an offensive phenom to pad his numbers and is just an all around better hockey player.
