In his D+2 season he was supposed to only be good because of Hall and last year because of McDavid. The truth is that he is a great player in his own right. Unfortunately for the Oilers it takes more than 2 great players to build a team and they still suck.

So you're saying you would trade Monahan for Draisaitl. That alone is foolish I think. Their career PPG is nearly identical, with Monahan absolutely crushing Drai in goal totals. Plus Monahan actually plays defense. Finally draisaitl costs 33% more per season (2.2 million), enough for a significant upgrade to another position on the roster.
