That's only an extra 2.5M in capspace compared to this season.

I personally love these contracts, but I think Johnny's is probably needing an 8 at minimum, regardless of 8 or 7 years. IMO 8.5 x 8 is realistic.
Tkachuk i think is very close. Might say 5 years instead, as I think both he and Brady are putting a very high value on young age+UFA status. So ending at 30 might be significantly more desirable to him.
