They are the same size and both play with an edge.
A precedent has been set for a really really close comparable player. Tkachuk had a better regular season and Meier stepped up in the playoffs.
The only way that Tkachuk gets a significantly better contract than that is if gets an offer sheet like Aho.
4 x 6.2 ???

The Meier contract has a wrinkle though, an interesting one.
The last year is $10M in salary meaning they will have to qualify him at $10M to retain his rights.
Bit of a gamble.
