You're dreaming. I strongly doubt that Tkachuk is going to shoot himself in the foot by signing a 4 year deal. I do think Aho ends up with a higher AAV on a 5 year term because he's a #1C, but you also have to realize that Tkachuk brings more than scoring and that the other aspects of his game are also going to be compensated for. I think probably 5 years in the high 7's is a likely outcome, any more years and you're in the low 8s.
