I honestly don't see Monahan as a center on a cup contender. The closest parallel I can draw is probably Jeff Carter circa 2012, but people need to recall that on that cup run, he played on the second line wing.
Yes, Carter was 2C on the 2014 Kings, but the league is just that much deeper, tighter, faster, more skilled, more dynamic six years later, and I doubt that particular Kings team could hang with today's top tier.

if you trade him you still need to replace that part.

Honestly, I think we have no shortage of lefthanded shot forwards who are dying for more opportunity. Mangiapane, Dube, Bennett being the three that come to mind.
I'd rather try and move on than keep spinning wheels with the current core.
