Tkachuk would get more than that, even on a one year deal so this team probably isn't cap compliant.
As for comments on your actual team, I think what you've done with the D pairs is interesting and something I'd like to see them try during preseason. I think it will probably end up being what worked well for most of the year last season though:
Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Czarnik is a winger and played RW and LW at various points last season. I don't think he'd cut it as a center. My expectation is that Frolik will be a cap casualty that's moved to make room for Tkachuk's deal and they hope that Bennett continues his strong play from the playoffs on the shutdown line. I think they pair Mangiapane with Jankowski to start the season (they were good together in the AHL) and put Ryan & Lucic together given Peters' comments about Lucic's best seasons being with a RH centre and they'll hope one of Dube or Lucic can play on the off-wing.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Bennett
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik
Lucic/Dube - Ryan - Lucic/Dube
