But as one poster noted, the key is to identify the 'core' early and pay them. Monahan is an easy call and I think Bennett will be as well. Don't know why I'm hesitant on Gaudreau. But I think that way about Eberle too. And Hamilton should fire his agent because that deal is a steal for Calgary. It will be a bigger steal every season into it.

When it comes to collective bargaining and escalating salaries, being the one that causes the escalation doesn't make you 'ahead of the curve', it makes you the source of the problem.
