we'll have no such luck with Tkachuk... I'm thinking 7.5-8 million on a 6 year deal, it could be lower if its on a bridge, but would Calgary want to do that? If you bridge Tkachuk to end at the same time as johnny/monny, then maybe you can pitch the idea of signing all three to 'lifetime' deals
but the "Gio cap" is gone...

If they dont win the cup in the next 4-5 years then I can’t see it happening this generation. They have an amazing collection of super stars, up and comers and solid depth guys right now. Maybe if they draft incredibly well they will extend the window into johnny and money’s veteran years.
A bridge for Matthew works well because it keeps him during the window. After, I’m sure they will find the cap room if they have to.
