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

Monahan is indeed a concern at this stage of the contract, 2/3 done. Even so, he’s not wildly overpaid compared to most other centres at his level of production. Go look. Especially if he starts to improve his 200 foot game, which is a subject of a lot of debate here. And if the cap had gone up as expected it would be even less of an issue.
Rasmus in his 3rd full season but after a shortened second season. I am not counting his 1 game and 10 game seasons. I would add that, production wise, he’s way ahead of any previous pace. He’s equaled his points from his rookie year (which was 79 games) or last year (22 points in 70 games). He’s got 19 in 50. I’m really not concerned about his contract.
