All prime years he will want much closer to the same cap hit if not the same or more.
If we want Tkachuk for that much less it probably is a 3 - 5 year deal years so he can get another big deal when he is 27 to 29

I’m pretty willing to let Chicky go rather than overpay him long term. With his wheels the scoring can go pretty suddenly. And he’s not particularly helpful when he’s not scoring.
