What I said at $6.25M is pretty much in line with what the other young stars coming out of entry contracts are getting. Barkov got $5.9 per and MacKinnon got $6.3M.
The problem with your post is Gaudreau is a tier up from Monahan. I'd be shocked if Gaudreau's cap hit doesn't start with a 7. There's a much better chance it starts with an 8 than a 6 IMO.

You're both wrong and have another thing coming. Gaudreau is worth more than that and as such, will sign for more.
Yup I'm with you on that. I don't see them signing identical contracts. Gaudreau is worth more and ther is no way his agent is letting him take less. There is no way Flames management is going to give Monahan more money than they need to just so he matches Gaudreau's contract.
Do you guys think Gaudreau and Monahan are dog people or cat people? Will this factor into negotiations at all?
Monahan strikes me as a cat guy. His camp might want 8x$6.5MM, but what if BT throws a couple kitties in there? Could that knock it down to 6.33AAV maybe?
Gaudreau seems like more of a dog person, but I hear he's allergic to dander (mods PM for source). Maybe a labradoodle? Johnny Gaudoodle. I have a hookup, if needed. KK, if you are reading this - hmu and we can work something out for the benefit of the club. Let's get these guys signed already.
