It should concern you as to what the franchise looks without one or both of these 2 guys next year should they leave. Even if a trade is made prior to FA or RFA, you're likely not coming out on top by losing the best player(s) on expiring deals this late in the game.
If you are talking ballpark $9M AAV for both long term, it would really only be a $4Mish increase on the team's current books. Bribe someone to take Monahan or Lucic off your hands with a pick and you've got your room right there.
