You’d imagine Tkachuk gets closer to 9 million,no?

probably... idk why I undervalued it so much

Tampa has zero interest in both players.

Probably because they’re running into the cap ceiling fast

No as a fan of both teams they take that and run. Flames aren't going to do that. Vladar is dirt cheap and a really good backup, Valimaki is better than Foote

Flames aren't signing Gaudreau for less than 8 years (in the 8.5-9M range), the 8th year is their #1 negotiations advantage card over the market
Tkachuk laughs at that offer, he gets at least a matching number as Gaudreau
Mangiapane isn't getting that much, probably around 5.5M
Monahan will be traded, not bought out

Kinda off-topic but how do you feel about 2004 as a Bolts-Flames fan? Does it make being a fan of those teams slightly harder?

No not really, I can't change the past so I just run with the memes when they do come up #itwasin

With the kind of year Johnny Gaudreau is having, he easily gets 8 x $10,000,000 and Matthew Tkachuk will get 8 x $9,000,000 if not closer to 8 x $9,500,000
