$6.375M for Monahan is fair, based on comparables.

If Gaudreau signs for 7 x $6.75M, or maybe 8 x $7.25M (or something similar), I will feel the same about his deal.

However, if he holds out for $8M per, I will not be impressed. That would be similar to Monahan holding out for $7.5M per, which he didn't.

Your attempt to compare Monahan taking $5.4M was a completely unrealistic comparison and wasn't worth responding to.
