This contract brings into the discussion what the impact of the Overall team has on the individual goals and pts.
The Flames had over 50% of their roster have career years. Gio a solid 40-50 Pt scorer previous career year was 56pts On the super juiced Flames last year he beat this by 18 pts.
Tkachuk's 77 pts last season were very similar to Gio's 74 -- Tkachuk 24 on the pp Gio 21.
Is Tkachuk a 77-80 pt producer long term or is he a 56 - 60 pt guy?
What sort of pts would have Tkachuk put up on the Ottawa team ... certainly not 77. Mark Stone had 73 pts between Ottawa/Vegas. Duchene 70 Ott/CBJ.
What sort of pts would Colin White put up on last year's Flames in place of Tkachuk? certainly more than his 41.
Same goes for a lot or the elite UFAs ... Rantanen played the whole year with Mackinnon/Landeskog. Conner w/ Schiefele/Wheeler.
Does Brayden point put up 92 pts without Kucherov as a regular linemate?
