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.

Well not to be a stickler but last year was Andersson' sophomore season. He played 71 games after playing 79 the year before. Unlike Monahan, I would not look at production as the primary measuring stick for his performance. I like his shot and he seems a little more confident in the O zone, but he has spent most of the year scrambling from being out of position and the team's metrics when he's on the ice are bad.
Monahan unfortunately is "wildly overpaid" for his play this year. He is 60th in AAV among forwards. He is 162nd in goals and 155th in points. Not like he makes up for it with his defensive play or intangibles.
They're two of the most obvious examples of guys not playing up to their contracts this year.
