6.75 x 5, 9.5 x 1, 10 x 1, 10 x 1....move some money around into signing bonuses and lockout protection and call it a day.

Works out to 63.25 to deal (7.91 AAV). I think it's a bit more than the Flames want to pay and a bit less than Tkachucks camp wants to have...(which tells me it's right in the middle). You can get into the painful detail of less for RFA years and percentage of projected cap or player value to the team (and BT/Agent have to do that)....but at the end of the day I would be surprised if we dont land within 500k of this (shorter deal likely closer to the 6.75 for the first 5 years).
