He's probably a direct comparable for Tkachuk in terms of points and goals last year (Tkachuk and Forsberg both had 42 goals, and if you look at Forsberg's pro-rated points it's similar too).
Also think that if Forsberg is $8.5M then it's easier to get Gaudreau around $9.5M / $10M. Honestly in the end I still think this gets done for Gaudreau at $10M x 8 but the Flames are hoping he will come down a little.

I feel like the 7.9M for Fiala definitely pushes Chucky over the $10M per threshold Really I think if the Flames sign Johnny that will be the benchmark for Chucky. It won’t be much less if not the same amount
