There are 9 forwards(
3 wingers) getting paid over 10M: McDavid,
Panarin, Matthews, Tavares,
Marner, Toews,
Kane, Eichel, Kopitar.
There are 10 more forwards getting paid over 9M: Seguin,
Stone, Benn, Malkin,
Kucherov,
Ovechkin,
Rantanen, Backstrom,
Kaprizov,
Skinner.
12 more forwards getting paid over 8M: Crosby, Stamkos, Draisaitl, Aho, Tkachuk, Giroux, Wheeler, Voracek, Johansen, Duchene, Kessel, Couture.
Now in my mind both Gaudreau and Tkachuk fit better in the 3rd group. I think that until they both prove that they can dominate at both ends of the ice they are not $10M players. At that number they would be overpaid, and we would be as happy as leafs fans with Marner.
