Don't give a #### about analytics, never will, so this is irrelevant to me.

Probable top six center, currently a top four defenseman, and a top 10 player at his position, and that's not enough? In our system, Frost would be our top prospect, Myers would be our number three or four defenseman, and Voracek would be our top RW. And we only give up one player of consequence. That is a trade you do all the time.

Monahan is really struggling on executing when it comes to becoming a 200 foot player. He's saying all the right things, but his performance on ice might just be telling us that he can't do it. If we do come back with Gaudreau and Monahan here, I think a big experiment should be splitting them up for extended periods to see what happens to their games. I think that may go poorly for Monahan, but it also may give him the opportunity to get more touches while getting him involved in more of the play giving him the opportunity to be more than just a finisher for whatever magic Johnny can cook up.

And I disagree. Having Gaudreau on your wing a double edged sword. He's creative, but he's a giveaway machine and a player you have to cover up for. Monahan is grossly under rated in his two way game. He's also the best center we've had in almost a quarter century. You accept some warts, just like Oilers and Avs fans accept the warts with their star centers.

3 centres out two Centers in plus another mid 1st. Danault would be a really good add at Center, would instantly become our best face off guy and plays a complete 200 ft game; I think Gaudreau would benefit greatly playing with a center like this.
Gaudreau - Danault - Lindholm
Hall - Domi - Tkachuk
Bennett - Backlund - Mangiapane
Lucic - Dube - Phillips

That is just... no. Not just no, but hell no. Montreal would hump your leg for that deal.
