Even on a short term deal Tkachuk is getting close to $10 mil and an 8 year deal likely getting $11 mil or more. Land Barzal you could trade Monahan and be left with millions to sign a couple wingers or be patient and wait for an opportunity to land or draft a star next off season
People seem to be struggling with the value of the cap. I said a few weeks ago to get Tkachuk for 8 years it would be 8 x $11 mil. People thought I was crazy to suggest it yet here we are. Sounds like it could take more
I bet we could re-sign Barzal this summer for $8 mil or slightly more. That’s no brainer vs Tkachuk at $11 mil +
