Monahan is always going to spark a lot of debate. He's a very good player offensively without a doubt as the statistics don't lie. He's going to get 30 goals almost every season but it's the rest of his game that's just so average. Backlund doesn't score as much but he is effective when he's not scoring in a checking role. Monahan is invisible when he's not scoring and ideally you want more of an offensive driver on your first line as I feel he owes a lot of his offensive success to Gaudreau. I'm not big on the hypothetical trades so I'm not going to get into that and my original post was more in regards to what the GM may do in the offseason as he's shown he's not afraid to make big moves almost annually as I'm not campaigning for Monahan in particular to be traded.
