I think Tkachuk is great, but unless that came from an offer sheet, I don't think the Flames should pay him that much unless it is on a longer term deal. Treliving got Monahan and Gaudreau for around 9% cap on 6 year deals. I understand Mathews' deal changed the game a bit, but Aho's signing probably sets the ceiling on Tkachuk's deal for a 5 year term. My expectation is that they can negotiate to something like 9% of cap for RFA years, plus 11.6M (Panarin) for UFA years, about $8.2M x 5 years.
I also think you've got Mangiapane too high for a one year term (that would be what I think he should get on a 3 year deal) given he has half a season of good play at the NHL level.
