$7m-$7.5m a year sounds about right for Johnny but I doubt Monahan gets more than $6m. Gaudreau is a star in this league, a true difference maker... Monahan, though I love him, just isn't on that level. Hopefully they both sign 8 year deals but I am skeptical given that the Flames have never given out a contract that long. They've given out two 6 year deals in franchise history, everything else has been 5 years or less, I honestly think that's a trend that's there for some kind of reason (internal mandate?). It's probably more likely they both sign 5-6 year deals unfortunately.
