Girard was a clear #3 on COL this year playing over 21 mins (~3mins more than the #4 in both reg season and playoffs). And he only just turned 24 a few weeks ago.

100pts is a nice but arbitrary distinction. It's also pretty rare that you have so many question marks about such a player that you're not 100% sure about locking them up longer term and contemplate trading them...
2OA forwards since 1990:
IMO Tkachuk slots right in the middle of those 20. But the key thing is that his best 'value' years are almost certainly behind him - which isn't to say he may not still play 3-6 more of his very best years, but it's gonna cost 8 figures.
If Tkachuk was signed for 5 more years at say $8M then the value would make sense.
