Would they have cost more here? Sure. But there are a whole host of other factors, including the fact they are better, and in Stone's case, was a pending UFA and in Kucherov's case, was by far the best forward on the team when he signed.

We all know they are better players than Tkachuk. Kucherov and Stone would both be making 10.5-11.5 in Canada or in a higher taxed state. Period. I'm not sure what exactly you're getting at to be honest. I just don't like people throwing out bogus comparables from completely different situations. Kucherov and Stone make zero sense in this situation and are only being used to recklessly drive home the argument that Tkachuk is somehow not worth what he will end up getting paid.
