I think 8 years at an average of $8.5 million with a heavily front loaded contract. A million dollars today is worth more than a million dollars in 5 to 8 years, considering buying power, inflation, and investment potential. I think they can reduce the AAV by front loading the contract substantially. The Tkachuk’s have been around the bush and he likely has strong financial advising support.

Of course, the owners would need to sign off on a such a deal and it doesn’t come without risk.
