To clarify: I don't think signing Tavares means you "need" to trade Monahan. I am saying that Monahan's skillset is made redundant by Tavares and it would cause Monahan to have less production overall (down to the ~55 ish point range).
I think it's fantasy to think Monahan and Tavares would both be 70 point guys on the same team. The only areas Tavares likes that aren't exactly the same as Monahan are the ones Gaudreau likes.
