Confirmed Signing with Link: [CGY] Flames sign Matthew Tkachuk (3 years, $7M AAV)

[bobholly39]

more than point. damn, point got owned big time.

Yeah, he did. Point should have gotten a lot more.

I don't understand why such a young player gives his team such a team friendly deal

he wants to win

$7 mil for only 70 points? This makes Draisaitl’s $8.5 mil look like roadway robbery!

That’s basically how it goes for a forward though. You can check pretty much all contracts and most get paid a million dollars for every 10 points. Not including superstars which get paid more and probably centres.

 

[King In The North]

Is their any nhl calibre wingers to carry in Edmonton. Dreiseitl is 1st line on every team other then Edmonton and Pitts.

No one cares.

 

[flamesforcup]

Going to be painful in 3 years from now. I'm just happy Marner came with the term at this point.

Id rather do this then give Tkachuk 11 per year.

Yeah but he scored 92 points last year. The year before 66. There's no guarantee 92 is the new norm for him, maybe he goes back down to ~60-70 points, good 2 way C.

That could end up being the difference in career earnings of 30-40M$ long-term depending on how his career pans out. Seems like a lot of money to leave on the table...

This is the day no one complains about the Nylander deal ever again.

More than Nylander for half the term.

Tkachuk is comparable to Marner not Nylander.

 

[DFF]

I love Tkachuk but 7m is quite a hefty aav for a 3yr bridge. I donk think he'd be expecting more than 8/8.5 on a long term.

Maybe but the numbers work for him AND more importantly the team

 

[shortfuze]

Why is Tkachuk’s deal being compared to that of an inferior player like Nylander?

Cause somehow a leafs player is always brought up in pretty much every thread. Whether it’s a leafs fan or not.

the main difference wasnt level of play it was PP opportunity. he played PP2 in 17-18 and PP1 in 18-19

 

[Cousin Eddie]

WTF is Treliving doing? How do you justify giving Tkachuk the same term as Point yet more AAV like a day later?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

This is the day no one complains about the Nylander deal ever again.

It’s still a stupid bad contract so wrong

 

[qwerty]

Most importantly to note, the deal keeps the rest of the team intact. No big moves need which essentially keeps the rest of team in place.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Your fanbase should have 0 say in other players being “overpaid”

Classic.

Ya thats how it works...

 

[Advanced stats]

Tkachuk is comparable to Marner not Nylander.

Lol. That's all.

Marner was drafted a year later and has already outscored Tkackuck by 50 points in their career.
And they're like...22

WTF is Treliving doing? How do you justify giving Tkachuk the same term as Point yet more AAV like a day later?

Rantanens AAV will likely be higher than Points as well. Point signing to a super team friendly deal, doesn’t make this signing bad. It just makes Points signing a huge steal.

 

[super6646]

Jesus Christ stfu leaf fans and crusaders against them, idgaf after Nylander or marner or how they are overpaid/not. Ffs every f***ing thread this bullshit.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Why is Tkachuk’s deal being compared to that of an inferior player like Nylander?

Same price, half term

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Id rather do this then give Tkachuk 11 per year.

It's a fine contract. What's the year 3 salary? Is he handcuffing Calgary with that QO in 4?

Most dont realize that the player is gaining just as much here.... the cap seems fine for 3 years, but if you dont overpay in yr4...he may not be yours in year5.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Jesus Christ **** leaf fans and crusaders against them, idgaf after Nylander or marner or how they are overpaid/not. Ffs

Sorry you're right. You come in here as a leaf fan and all you read about are replies to that stuff.

Honestly Tkachuk is an outstanding player and worth it. This fits him into the teams cap structure and makes the contract a three years from now problem when the landscape could look much different. I dont think this gets done with term without having to shuffle the team around so it makes sense for both sides.

 

[Mobiandi]

He doesn't need mcdavid for those points

8.5 and can't carry your own line

It's a troll account. Pretty good one too

 

[garyturner3]

That tax loophole needs to be fixed in the next CBA. How can anyone look at this deal compared to Point's and not realize how much of a competitive advantage it's giving teams?

 

[CupofOil]

Taxes strike again. How Tkachuk gets more than Point on a same term bridge deal the day after Point set the market is beyond me. Craziness.

 

[Deen]

The way Tkachuk plays could easily land him on the LTIR. I'm actually surprised he didn't want term.

 

[North]

This is the day no one complains about the Nylander deal ever again.

What? Tkachuk is far better than Nylander.
