Confirmed Signing with Link: [CGY] Calgary re-signs Sean Monahan (7 Years, $6.375M AAV)

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Gaudreau should land on the north side of 7.

I'll predict 8 years, 6.575M for Monahan.

Slightly above Mackinnon's cap-hit due to the extra year.

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if Gaudreau, Doesn't get the Tarensenko deal around $7.5M for 8 years.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I think Gaudreau will end up around 7.25x8.

For what he brings to the Flames, That would be a very good deal for him and the club.

 

[SuperJoe]

My guess 6.75 over 7,

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Nice! Very happy with 6.3. As soon as Barkov got 5.9, I said it would be within 500K or so depending on the term.

 

[DCDM]

Amazing deal!!!!

 

[Saidin]

Is 7x6.3 confirmed?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

All the people crying about Monahan getting more than Barkov were acting like it was a huge amount more. 6.3 is fine. Glad to see he's locked up. Now time for Johnny.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Very good deal for both sides. Just need to lock up JG now

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Is 7x6.3 confirmed?

"Around" 6.3 according to Friedman.

 

[jw2]

Not a great deal on his part. Should be a steal for the last 5 years of that deal.

That extra year of UFA is huge.

We also got more term, wasn't Barkov only 5 years? I'd gladly pay an extra 400K more per year to get 2 more years.

Edit: It was 6 years, but yeah, still happy.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

6.3 is really good for the Flames. Now lets see what Johnny gets.

 

[Curufinwe]

Not a great deal on his part. Should be a steal for the last 5 years of that deal.

$44,100,000 guaranteed at age 21 is good.

 

[Bieber fever]

Good deal

Kadri contract keeps getting better and better

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good deal for the Flames.

Also helps negotiating grounds for Gaudreau

 

[SB84]

Not a great deal on his part. Should be a steal for the last 5 years of that deal.

It's a fair deal. If Bennett becomes the number 1C his point totals might fall. Very happy with the deal regardless! Now I just hope Johnny Hockey follows suite and signs a seven year deal.

 

[GongShowWilly]

nice deal !

 

[Hunter368]

Decent deal for both sides.

 

[Donzo]

I don't have a dog in this fight, but Monahan is not "clearly" better than Scheifele.

http://public.tableau.com/shared/HY8SQX39J?:display_count=yes

Monahan's goal totals are propped up by an unusually high shooting percentage. Now, it's been unusually high for three seasons, so is that actually his norm? Maybe, I don't watch him enough to have an opinion, but it would put him on par with the game's truly elite snipers. But if it comes down 2 or 3 percentage points, as one would eventually expect, then the goal totals will come down as well.

Shameless self repost:

Monahan has more career goals (76) than anyone from his draft year:
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2013e.html

More than anyone in the previous draft year:
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2012e.html

And from the draft year before that, only Landeskog has more goals.
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2011e.html

And from the draft year before that, only Hall, Seguin, Johansen, Skinner and Tarasenko have more goals.
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2010e.html

Real happy with this deal, was thinking $6.7 per.

 

[Joel Ward]

Very nice. Monahan is a fantastic player and the Flames have a great young core of talented players to build around going forward!

 

[DropIt]

Good deal

Kadri contract keeps getting better and better

`

Kadri isnt in the same universe as Monahan, so their contracts wont be either

 

[lomiller1]

--> outproduces Scheifele in every single league at every single age
--> nuff said

Like the year Schiefele put up 18 points in 4 games against him in head to head matchups?

More to the point. Monahan's best OHL season was 78 points in 58 games, Scheifele's was 79 points in 48 games. In the NHL
5v5 P/60 Scheifele 1.99 v Monahan 1.71.
CF% Scheifele 52.31% v Monahan 45.8%.
Rel CF% Scheifele 1.42 v Monahan -1.52.

Monahan does have a small lead in overall points but that's largely a result of more games played and more power play time. Scheifele has more 5v5 points in spite of playing 21 fewer games. Point totals do figure heavily into what contracts GM's are willing to give out, so I expect Monahan will get a bigger number over a shorter term even though he isn't likely to match Scheifele for either points or all around play over the next 6-8 years.

It's not that Monahan is an elite sniper. It's that he usually only shoots when he has good positioning. Usually in the slot on a pass from the top of the circles.
