This problem is seemingly everywhere with this draft class (2015 and 2016) - including with our own Matthew Tkachuk. Should Tkachuk get more than... Gaudreau and Giordano at 6.75 million - remember the Mark cap, and it is seemingly heading higher here... and there is not enough cap space left around the league to spread to all these players - something, somewhere, is going break. Winnipeg, Colorado, and Tampa have enough money to sign their players to what they would want, Calgary and Vancouver are borderline at best and Toronto has no cap space at all.
