I am actually not sure which team is better off from such a deal, and which will need to add. As I think Monahan could be a PPG center as a part of the lightning. I am also not sure, how much better Point would actually be in Calgary, as he benefits quite a bit from having Stamkos as a huge threat.

I can’t see TB trading Point even for a retained Monny.
I don‘t think I’ve ever seen a similar deal like this.
The one thing the Blackhawks model has taught me is that they keep at all cost their core players and bargain with the rest. And they have 3 SC’s to back up their strategy.
