Not 11 haha, that’s four years of 1st round picks.
I’d say he’s worth a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd though. I think that’s up to like $8 million
Yeah, they’d match that. If we add Tkachuk, those 1sts will be in the bottom half of the round.
Sure, it would be preferable to get a player like Matthews or McDavid, but they would cost 15-16M to have a realistic shot at the other team choosing not to match. Tkachuk is good enough to make a major impact but at the same time, cost a reasonable price. The Hawks signed his dad to an offersheet but the Jets matched.
I think there is a great chance we’ll see an offersheet this offseason. Too many big time RFAs looking for top dollar combined with numerous big market teams outside the playoffs looking to improve.
And yeah, I do think Tkachuk is on par with Khalil Mack due to his all around impact. He’s the only player like him in the league. 2 1sts in the NFL is worth more than 4 1sts in the NHL IMO. The NFL 1sts should be sure thing starters for many years.
