If paying Johnny precludes them from signing an extra Trevor Lewis and actually playing their AHL guys, that’s all the more reason to do it.

It's too much because he had several stretches in the last few years where teams were able to shut him down. In addition, there's still a giant question mark regarding his play in the playoffs. Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm also had an amazing half a year of play, but then their play dropped off after the all-star break. Finally, I have no idea how good he is going to play in his early-mid thirties.
We've seen amazing play and buy in from Gaudreu this year. I'm simply not sure if that's the exception or the rule for the way he plays from here on out. That's why I personally find that contract is too much.
