Tkachuk will have to put up a 40 goal, 90 point season or two before that type of money is spent on him. And he'll have to step up in the playoffs. Matthew isn't there yet, and anyone who spends that kind of coin on him right now is screwing their team over.

And you're assuming other players contracts don't end, look at the Blues in a few years how much cap space they will have. Always a team out there that will overpay.
