He's the best player on a team leading their division. He's big, he's great defensively, he's even a good faceoff player given his age, now he's got the offense going for him.
I think the Panthers would be wise to sign him for long-term now as a bridge-contract could end up to be a Subban situation after he really breaks out.

I think he's a good player but going back to his draft year he's kind of been injury prone and why pay him more than you have to as he's not a $7 million center right now. I don't think Monahan is a $7 million player right now and he's accomplished a heck of a lot more than Barkov has.
