Speculation: Tkachuk & Bennett 2019 contracts

[Kranix]

Tkachuk max years x 8 mill.

Probably said this before but good chance Treliving will likely sacrifice term in order to keep the cap hit down. It's what he's done with all his other major RFA contracts. So instead of 8yrs at 8M+, it could be something like 5yrs x 6.75M instead.

Whatever happens, it probably doesn't get concluded until some time in September.

As for Bennett, I'll guess 3yrs x 3M per. But I wish Treliving would try for a long term deal. Guys who can elevate their game in the playoffs will always be in demand.

I'm glad an Oilers fan is making decisions for our team. The $4M for Benny looks something the Oilers would give out, not the Flames.

Yeah probably true. Personally I think Bennett isn't worth much but that is only because he puts up current Lucic numbers.

What is the going rate for 30 point third line wingers these days anyways?

4x4 lol

He shouldn’t get more than 2.5 million.

Well, the Capitals recently gave Tom Wilson 31M over six years after he put up 35 points in 78 regular reason games.

Yes because that's very clearly ignoring his playoff performance lol.

He's also lived up to that contract this year.

I think Tkachuk will get 6 years, 7 per

I can get on board with that. Helps that he wasn't a factor in playoffs
