I might even make the argument that the sooner we get Monahan on his 'full' contract, the less it will cost and the better off we'll be

I agree with this for sure, while it is the Oilers and it will probably blow up in their faces, I thought they had the right idea. If by year 3 it's looking like Monahan is going to be a stud and worth 7.5m, I'd love to lock him up for 6.5-7m. It is a risk but in the cap era I think to be a contender you have to have good players on better contracts.
