You just simply do not trade your best center when the entire franchise has been without one for decades prior. Of all the players who deserve extra lives he is the 1st.

To be fair, Craig Conroy and Daymond Langkow were much more 1st line center material than Monahan is or was.
If you want to keep rolling the dice on this guy to finally grow some cojones and compete hard every night, that's your prerogative, but it is abundantly clear this team is going nowhere with him lining up against the heavyweights of the western conference.
