If we signed Johnny to something in the 8/$50M range, and did a similar pact with Monahan, where we get them for a million less each than we thought we would, that allows us to get another Frolik calibre player.
I should point out Kane and Toews both got roughly $6m out of their ELCs as well - unless Johnny wins us a Cup this year, I would guess this is where he slots in.

Gio is in a little under 7 mil. 6.875 million. Is anyone really looking at that deal and saying "steal" today. He is not the same player that put up two elite seasons and the contract hasn't even started yet.
