I have absolute zero doubt that Johnny will get a deal that gives him a raise over 7-8 years when he signs a new deal and I think it is almost certainly elsewhere

Yes...again, he just needs better line mates. SMH
He is on the same ppg pace as last year more or less....wanna remind me who his RW was then?
And can that not be said for every single player in the league? I mean...jeezuz at what point is a 7M player responsible for creating on his own and not relying on others? Is that guy not the guy that should be making others better?
As was pointed out in another thread....he is 139th in the NHL scoring at ES. This is not the same player that we saw previous to the AS break 2 seasons ago. Its no longer some small sample size. Maybe its all on Monahan? Who knows but there is no way to find that out.
Maybe he finds his mojo again and it would be great if it was in Calgary, but in no way shape or form am i signing a declining player at age 28 to a 7 or 8 year deal at more money than he makes now, so as to the bolded...lets hope like hell you are right.
