I struggle to see this team trading Monahan (and Gaudreau) though. This organization does nothing proactive.

I wouldn't say they do nothing proactive, but I do get the impression that the organization's idea of being good enough is just making it into the playoffs, not actually being a team that does damage in the playoffs. As a result, they don't make many high-risk high-reward moves. Instead, the moves are usually incremental improvements with controlled downsides to keep the team out of the basement, ultimately resulting in decades of mediocrity.
Not wanting to suck, but not having the guts to go big is pretty much the organizational culture top to bottom.
