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.

Well Stastny and Schenn are out producing Monahan this year at goals per 60. Actually I'm not sure there is a center in the league making as much as Monahan that is behind him in that metric.
edit: I checked and Kopitar is behind him. Monahan at 252, Kopitar at 268.
I'm just really surprised you keep arguing that Monahan's current play justifies his salary.
IMO it's entirely about whether he is able to rebound and reagin his production without being a liability in his own zone.
