If our teams identity wants to be hard working and gritty, I don't think that means that every player needs to fit that mold. I still think you need players like Monahan and Gaudreau. I do think they need to be split up 5 on 5 though.
It's a lot easier to change a coach than it is to win every trade that's wanted.
That said, I would be down with trading Gaudreau, Monahan and Giordano. I just don't see us dealing from a position of strength (maybe Gaudreau)
