No one will tell me what they would have signed either him or Gaudreau to back in the day. Only that the (unknown) offer by the Flames was "embarrassing".
They called it embarrassing vs the 10.5 offer he got. Its embarrassing that Johnny and his camp thought he should get 10.5 for being a 50-60 point player.

Even if the offer was 7.5-8.5 at the time that seems like a very good offer for a player who had a lot of question marks around him coming into the season.

Who knows what the Tkachuk deal would have looked like at 6 years but if we look around the league during that time, it would have been 9 plus. After 2 down years everyone would have had pitchforks out for Treliving if we had a 50 point Tkachuk at 9 million plus.
