I think it depends on the return and his market value.

If he can be used to upgrade true number 1 center, or if he can get you a package that includes a top 10 pick, then you trade him.

But if the best offer you have is trading him to Buffalo for Rasmus Ristolainen straight up then you hold on to him because he's still a low end #1 center, or high end #2 center.

For example if the rumor that Gaudreau for Couturier is something that was seriously discussed is true then I think you could keep Monahan, and maybe look to move Backlund instead.

Couturier, Monahan, Bennett as your top three centers into next season starts to look pretty good.
