Letting your franchise player sit on the side lines isn't a great way of signaling to the fans that you're serious about winning. He's our best player. You pay your best players. If Monahan got 6.4, Gaudreau is easily worth 7.5-8 IMO.
So I think he's got plenty of leverage.

And no one wants the outrage.
