I am okay giving Gaudreau and Monahan more if they agree to the full 8 year max. With the Flames giving Dougie the big bucks and term it will be hard to convince the guys they drafted, developed and helped turn the team around into bridge contracts.
8 years $6-$7M each depending how this season goes
