If there's one big change i would be okay with, it would be trading Monahan and signing Matt Duchene to replace him. That would actually have been totally viable, except that the Lightning #### the bed. Now Duchene will likely re-sign in Columbus and if he does hit the open market he'll be worth probably 9M AAV. Say what you want about Monahan, he is still way underpriced.
The real solution would have been getting Duchene at the deadline, which was totally possible. Standing pat was a mistake, both at the time and in retrospect.

His low AAV should fetch the flames more!
