I still think 8 x $76M can probably get it done for Johnny.
For another team to beat that they need to go 7 x $76M which is a $10.8M cap hit which is tough for any team to do.
Tkachuk is the tougher one because I wonder if he wants to commit to 8 years. I could see him taking like a 3 year deal, which would expire once more of the COVID impacts are gone and would still leave him as a 27 year old UFA with a rising cap potentially.
8 x $9.5M for Johnny
3 x $9.5M for Tkachuk
