I'm with you on the UFA year value, but I think you're really selling short on the RFA years at only 5-5.5 per. Remember Monahan's contract structure:
RFA 1: 6.375
RFA 2: 6.375
RFA 3: 6.75
RFA 4: 6.75
UFA 1: 6.0
UFA 2: 6.125
UFA 3: 6.0
It's definitely peculiar that the UFA years are cheaper than RFA and I don't expect this phenomenon to happen with Johnny's contract, but Johnny's RFA years are not likely to come as cheap as you were hoping.
