The fact that Tkachuk makes more than Point is pretty embarrassing. And it's pretty obvious that Point's contract directly affected the timing of this contract.
The contract itself isn't the worst. I like it more than the Marner and Matthews deals. A bridge deal for Tkachuk kind of makes sense, because he only has one highly offensive season under his belt thus far. And at least he's still an RFA at the end, even if the QO will have to be high.

The Point deal was a big discount because he plays for Tampa. This is a very good AAV for Calgary. It also fits with our three year window where all of our best players make 7 million or less.
