I do wish there was a little more clarity on what the ask was from each side in the public...IMO the public pressure on the Marner camp is what ended up pushing that one forward. Could use something similar here.
And personally I feel like based on the comparables out there, there is a pretty clear solution available.

The last two seasons in all situations:
Goals/60
Boeser: 1.37
Tkachuk: 1.35
Draisaitl: 1.34
Aho: 1.16
Points/60
Draisaitl: 3.13
Tkachuk: 2.93
Aho: 2.91
Boeser:2.77
So that's the comparable grouping.
Aho: 5 years @ $8.5M
Draisaitl: 6 years @ $8.5M remaining
Boeser: 3 years @ $5.875M
So I think for him you could say that a 3 year deal would be a similar value to Boeser, and then tack on 3 more years at a higher value after that. Also that type of salary structure, let's you maybe pay a lower "Gio/Johnny Cap" real salary those first three years.
Say something like this:
19/20: $6.75M
20/21: $6.75M
21/22: $6.75M
22/23: $9.5M
23/24: $10.25M
24/25: $11.0M
That gets you to $51M for 6 years, and an $8.5M cap hit for the 6 years. That feels pretty fair to both sides to me, and in line with his closest comparable players.

Marner: 241 GP, 224 PTS (94 points last season)
Konecny: 233 GP, 124 PTS (49 points last season)
Tkachuk falls directly in the middle of those two from a points perspective. Marner has 50 more points over his career, (+17 last season), Konecny has 50 fewer (-27 last season)
Tkachuk: 224 GP, 174 PTS (77 points last season)
Assuming that Tkachuk falls right in the middle of those two contracts on a 6 year deal that would put him at $8.2M for 6 years. Tkachuk is a year younger than both, and had a better contract year than Konecny, so you are probably looking at a bit of a premium there, so say $8.5M for 6 years.

6 years, around $8.5M AAV and get him into training camp.
