I would argue Johnny can/will be a star in this league. Is he going to put up 100 points? I have my doubts. Over the next 7 years, will Monahan or Johnny be more valuable to the club? I would have to say Monahan and therefore I think Johnny should sign a deal practically identical to Monahan's. Johnny's extra 14 points are offset by the fact that Monahan plays the harder position and wears an A.

There is no contradiction when you consider contract status. Him being an RFA for 5 years makes a difference. Elite UFA's make $9MM or more a season.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
