I didn't think he'd have 0 even strength goals 20% into the season. But then again, I've always thought he was a pretty overrated goal scorer, but he does have underrated playmaking ability. At the very least though, right now, he's still playing hard and winning faceoffs. So, he can still help the team a bit even if his contract looks bad going forward. Hopefully some teams still think they can "fix" him though.

The Hurricanes are paying Kotkaniemi $6.1M for a worse season than Monahan’s last year.
And this year, Monahan is still more than twice the player.
I know age etc but for a centre on a one-year deal, $6.35M with good powerplay production and average possession stats at even strength, it’s not unmanageable.
