Agreed.

I don't think Tkachuk or Gaudreau can negotiate up to the 15-16% region, but 12-13% looks pretty reasonable. That's $9.9MM to $10.725MM. I still feel Gaudreau will look straight to Panarin as a comparison. Which is fair after this season. I think anything under (in that 12-13% range) would be considered "team friendly".
