I think the Flames should reward Gaudreau and Monahan after this year if they continue to perform as they are. As an organization, it sends a good message to players and it locks players up until they reach a more vulnerable age (early 30's).

Johnny and Monahan, if they can put up roughly 70 pts each, will fetch in the $7 million range for 8 years. I'd rather do this than what the Hawks did with Toews and Kane, signing them to shorter deals and then getting hit with $10.5 million contracts in their prime.
