Add to that the fact that their comparables in salary mostly produce at the same level. For every bargain like Scheifele I can show you someone who makes more than Monahan and produces less. Same for Andersson (and he’s much more likely to be better value in the next several years - he’s basically only a sophomore).
Monahan underperforming his contract at this stage of his career is a big concern. He's 26 years old.

Rasmus is not a sophomore.

Your over and under performers need to balance out. That's not what's happening now for the organization.
