Most any player will need some time, and up to a year to get themselves settled when they sign a long term contract with dollars regardless of what age they are when they sign the deal.
I actually would expect Monahan and or Gaudreau could face the same challenge. But once they overcome it, you have 6-7 more years of these guy's prime years where it won't be an issue.
