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.
You also have to look at when those contracts were signed. $8 million four years ago, is not the same as $8 million now.
