Also some assumptions but I think this should be the approach the Flames shoudl take on Monahan and Gaudreau and about the contract considering what Ryan Johansen got

I also think you should lower the cap to $71.5 for next season

I think your contracts your adding are pretty close as well
No way Russell is worth $5.25 right now. I think he maxes out at $4M

I have been wondering if we go bridge or long term with Monny and Johnny. Will be interesting. In one case you sign them to 2-3 year deals at $4-5M and then you may need to go $8M+ for 8 years but you have the control for 10-11 years. You could also go $6-$7M for 8 years right away and buy a couple UFA years and then they go UFA at 28/29 where they still command long term top dollars.

I have a feeling that Johnny will eventually want to go play somewhere in the NEUS (Rangers, Bruins, Flyers)
