4x6 should be the absolute top end.


A UFA (absolutely no rules built into cost control) Evander Kane got 7x7

The absolute top limit for Tkachuk (Brad Marchand) has just completed year 2 of his UFA contract 6.125 x 8. He was a UFA when he signed that.
While literally none of this is at all valuable in regards to negotiating with Tkachuk considering the Marchand/Kane situations are 1000% different, Meier's contract was structured in such a way that it's essentially a 5-year/$34M contract at minimum considering the Sharks will need to qualify him at $10M when his contract is up.
