Yep. Unless it's a major overpayment, you definitely keep that 1OA.
I'd be slightly worried about the log jam of high end C's though because I really don't want any of Monahan or Bennett traded, but I don't think it's wise to keep either of them at wing or utilize them in a 3rd line C role.
Of course, this is all hypothetical and I truly deep down believe we won't get 1OA. Who knows, it might be for the best.
