In my eyes, the deals rank as:
1. Scheifele - getting that 8th year is important, but clearly adds cost. Scheifele's hit on a 6 year deal would be below Barkov's AAV.
2. Monhan/Mackinnon - Monahan will likely come in at 6.5 or 6.4, but given that Mackinnon's stat-line was built while playing significant time on the wing, I think Monahan is the stronger centre going forward, and earned the slightly higher hit.
3. Barkov - only buying 2 years of UFA is a mistake, but it did help save 300-400k per year on the AAV. It helps Florida in the short term, but will be painful long term.
