So that's a 70 point, number one center with a wart that is in fact the reason he'd be moved.
So that means less doesn't it?

No cause that type of players is a unicorn and almost never available. I mean Joe Thornton and Ryan Johansen were traded. Johansen (who has warts of his own) was traded for arguably one of the most hyped dman prospects of the last decade and I’d argue Monahan has a much better pedigree and resume than Johansen did. Did CBJ lose that trade, trading a young 30 goal scoring #1 centre? I think they’re quite happy with the deal getting a young top pairing dman back, potential franchise dman. You put Monahan on the block and teams will be lining up around the corner to get him IMO. How many years (or decades) would we have given up the sun and moon for a player like Monahan? There are teams out there in that same position we used to be in.
Anyways it wouldn’t be an easy trade to make. But I will always argue against the idea that we’d auto lose it because that makes absolutely no sense to me.
