I wonder what Monahan's price tag was for the 8th year? If he were to be paid $8 million for that 8th year, the AAV would have gone up to about $6.6 million.
LT deals also carry some risk for the organization but Flames are pretty much all in with a 7 year deal anyway.

You'd ask for 10 million the 8th year at a minimum so at least 6.8. If you believe your Towes then you ask for 12 the 8th year. But why would you sign the 8th year of you Monahan. You sign the 7 year because your options are like 3 yr 5mil for 15 million or a 45 million dollar contract.
You sign that deal just on a risk basis. But adding another 8 which delays the next 50 by a year doesn't make sense.
