You move on from Monahan and it will be for a package of lesser parts.

It's hard to say, who knows who will suddenly be on the market and sold for nothing, like O'Reilly, and who knows which player might find a fit and blossom offensively, like Lindholm. A lot depends on pro scouting and being opportunistic.
I also wouldn't hate trading Monahan for a slightly older legit 1C and other assets, like the Backstrom trade someone brought up. Again, this is all assuming that Monahan can't pull out of whatever is happening to him for the rest of the season and playoffs.
