I'm thinking they won't get Gaudreau to sign a 8 year deal. 6 years will take him to 29.

Monahan I could see signing an 8 year deal, which would increase his cap hit a bit in order to buy a couple more UFA years.

Gaudreau - 6 years / $6.75 million per (Losing those two years lowers cap number from Tarasenko comparable)
Monahan - 8 years / $6.75 million per (Gaining those two years increases cap number from Barkov comparable)

Aligns with "Gio Cap" (Don't know if this is really a thing, just speculating)
Forsberg has been playing the wing a lot early on in his career but I highly doubt he is not a full time center as early as this season.
