I admitted that I might be missing something, when/where did they say several times that they wanted identical contracts? Kane/Toews did it, I guess, but I would argue their values are closer than Gaudreau/Monahan.
You might see it as a certainty, simple, the end, but I don't.

I will admit "a small fraction" was an over exaggeration on my part, but, lets look at some numbers (Keep in mind, the earliest extension on this list was in 2011, when the salary cap was 13.6m lower than it is now.)
Gaudreau - .89PPG - ???
Hall - (At the time) .84PPG - $6M
Eberle - (At the time) .8PPG - $6M
Tarasenko - (At the time) .75 PPG - $7.5M
Tavares - (At the time) - .75PPG - $5.5M
Hopkins - (At the time) .74PPG - $6M
Benn - (At the time) .73PPG - $5.25M
Forsberg - .72 PPG - $6M
Couture - (At the time) .72PPG - $6M
Duchene - (At the time) .72PPG - $6M
MacKinnon - .70 PPG $6.3M
Monahan - .67 PPG - ???
Scheifele - .64 PPG $6.125
Seguin - (At the time) .63 PPG - $5.75M
Barkov - .62 PPG - $5.9M
-
AVERAGE - 0.72 PPG - $6,030,000
To be quite honest, I am surprised the average was so low, and felt Johnny deserved atleast $8 million per season, but that just simply isn't the going rate for these first extensions
Hall is the closest comparable to Gaudreau on this list. .12 PPG above average netted him the average salary, so Johnny's .05 PPG (6% increase) theoretically should give him roughly another $361,000 on top of that:
$6,030,000
+
$361,000
=
$6,391,000
Even when we factor in that Hall's contract, which was at the time 10% of the salary cap, if we add that to the average we still get just under $7,000,000, still less than Tarasenko
