Hoping for a lower % of the cap than Gaudreau is not happening, unless you mean at the time of signing. Gaudreau’s was 9.3%, which would put Tkachuk at 7.7 per year, which is possible.

Ya 7.5-7.7 is reasonable on a 6 year deal I think. If he wants 5 years, then I think you have to stick to your guns and keep it around 6.75. 8 years is the only way I give him 8.5.
