Like, don't get me wrong. I'd rather have Tkachuk. But how much more are those extra 12 pts in 15 games over three seasons worth to you?
Tkachuk is not an $8M player.

Thank you for telling all of us that you think points are all that matter when it comes to evaluating hockey players
Not only does Tkachuk have more points in less career games, he's much better defensively, an analytical God (Nylander's analytics are good, but not close to Tkachuk level), provides much more physical play, is a true leader, gets under the skin of opposing teams, and draws penalties at an incredible rate.
Comparing Nylander to Tkachuk is an insult to Tkachuk and justifiably makes everyone question just how much you know about evaluating Tkachuk.
