The point would be to change the makeup of our team. Do we really need more point producing forwards? I would argue no. But we do need our skilled forwards to fight through checking, be gritty and determined in the playoffs.

If it’s determined by coaches and management that they feel Gaudreau or Monahan is lacking too much in grit/compete then trading one of them for a player who is skilled but has more compete/grit could be an upgrade on the makeup of our team.
