Even if Monahan, Gaudreau and Gio did make 6-8 million, we could still afford to pay our 3rd liners 2-2,5M instead of 1M, just like the Minnesota Wild does, despite having Vanek, Parise, Koivu and Suter.
Generally speaking in todays NHL 4th liners make 0.5-1M, 3rd liners make 1.5-3M.

Minnesota has around 17M in cap space for next year
Their #6 and #7 forwards Cooke 2.5 and Nino Niederreiter at 2.667
They only have 9 forwards in all Fontaine 1M and Zucker at .9M
They only have 5 D-men in this list.
Dubnyk is a UFA.
so they need 4 more forwards and 3 more D-men and a #1 goalie.
If they are able to sign their MVP Dubynk for 6M that leaves 11M for 7 players.
Diaz and Potter are making 700k coming off of tryout contracts... pretty much the effective league minimum.
Their 3rd and 4th line and spare forward AND 6-8 d-men will be making an average of less than 1.5M
They will NOT be signing Raymond for 3M.
