My point was more that some suggest Johnny isn't worth $11 mil per year on a 8 year deal. IMO he's not worth $11 mil on a 3 year deal and if Johnny gets $11 mil it will impact Tkachuk's contract. 29 year old Tkachuk will be better than 34 year old Johnny IMO so if you want Tkachuk at $9 - $10 mil you can't give Johnny $11 mil and good chance Tkachuk isn't signing for 6 to 8 years at $9 - $10 mil when he is 24. 5 years max so he can get an 8 year deal when he is 29/30.

I agree that Tkachuk wants to be paid. But I think Gaudreau gets his points with generally any top line quality line mates whereas I think Chucky is normally a PPG guy on most teams top line (I used St Louis because that’s always the rumour).
