Of the players you mentioned, which are you suggesting "still" represent good value? Then it would be worth a comparison IMO.
There is a trend line for Monahan and if you are predicting he will return to previous from, then OK, but let's talk about that. IMO it's far from a given.

The reason I say “still” is that Monahan has had, by any standard, his worst year ever, and he’s still scoring at the same pace as a whole bunch of guys at the same level of pay. There’s plenty scoring more who make more. There’s some who are on bargain contracts, like Scheifele or Barkov or Mackinnon that I don’t use much to compare.
Value is what the market says it is. Braden Schenn was sign to $6.5 just this season, after a 58 point season. Stastny was signed to $6.5 after a 40 point season. If RNH makes $6-7M next year after a 35 point season I guess we know.
