for MT his gamble is what if he sings a 1 year deal and then logs 40 points next season, versus signing long term today. Conversely if he signs a 1 year deal and gets 120 points next year, then he is going to get huge dollars as a UFA.
My personal opinion is something at around $9m per is the right number, but i also feel on the open market they would get more.

I think Gaudreau will age nicely, the cap should increase rapidly after the escrow is all paid back so by the end of it he could likely fit nicely on the 2nd line.
Honestly no idea what Tkachuk's true value is. If he wants to sign long term for like 9M sure. If he signs his qualifying offer just trade him.
