I think you keep Monahan no matter what, move him to the wing if you'd like, which is probably a good idea. But we need #1 centre with the line driving ability like Backlund with more of an offensive mindset. I know Duchene has a bad track record and perhaps a poor attitude, but he's someone I would like CGY to take a long hard look at.
Our players that can take over a game are shut-down all to easily, i.e. Gaudreau being completely incapacitated.
I see these ones going:
Frolik, Janko, Brodie, Stone (somehow), Prout, and some AHLer's too.
I have a feeling Neal will request a trade after being snubbed in the last game too. I doubt we get much of anything back from him at all, which is fine by me. As long as he's gone.
I could see Kylington, Dube, and/or Benny perhaps being the victim of a trade to bring in real high-end talent. I'd like to keep them all, but who knows.
