Unless one side is being ridiculous, the Monahan contract should not be difficult at all given the comparables out there.
I think Gaudreau's contract poses more difficulty given how unique a player he is (super skilled but also risk due to size).

Theoren Fleury never played fewer than 79 games for Calgary as a full time NHL player, in an era when you could do a lot worse to players with impunity.
Really don't understand why Gaudreau's size is even discussed anymore. I would guess he takes less contact than 95% of the league. On top of that, Datsyuk is retired. The only guy I can remember specifically tattooing Johnny is back in Russia.
He could take a certain hit the wrong way and never be the same. Like Lindros.
