Yes. You are illustrating exactly my point by extrapolating the numbers on a basis of your own selected criteria as a means to demonstrate that Monahan's higher contract is a factor of his career track record. Much like a certain other poster on this board who shall remain un-named here, you are selecting criteria to fit with your own predisposed conclusions about these players. The rather glaring omission in all of your digital verbiage is the very likely instance that those negotiating NHL contracts are drawing from a much more sophisticated and not nearly so opaque set of factors.
