That said, if you can lock up Monahan to 8 years @ $6 million per and you're Treliving, you jump on that, I would think. I certainly would.
Same with Gaudreau, obviously. Although, I suspect Johnny will be asking for ~$8 million per, especially on a 6+ year term contract.

There seems to be a general thought that JG should be paid more than Monahan. I don't agree. While JG is a more skilled player who puts up more points, Monahan brings a more well rounded game. He also plays a more important position.
I think we get them both locked up for between 6-6.5 longer term.
