The NHL is shifting. Free agency this summer showed that with only the absolute dregs of the NHL overspending on UFAs (Skinner in Buffalo, Myers in Vancouver).
Younger players are getting paid going forward, and non-elite UFAs are going to get squeezed. That said, Marner’s AAV, McDavid’s, etc. really aren’t out of whack %-wise when viewed historically. Top players get paid.
If I’m the Flames, I’m offering 9-10M per to Tkachuk to get 8 years and hoping it works.
