Well if Eichel demands a trade that’s part of it.
Monahan isn’t elite but I think we’ve seen him play so long that his flaws start to outweigh his strengths and we underrate him. Brodie was the same thing by the end.
It all comes down to what Buffalo wants to do, and if they want to keep trying to put a competitive team on the ice or go full rebuild. If they don’t want to rebuild completely then I think Monahan is probably the best C that’s available to them.
Another angle they could look at is:
Monahan, Rittich, Bennett, 1st 2021, 3rd 2021, Poirier
For
Eichel, Hutton
Gives them a look at Rittich to see if he can be an answer in goal that they desperately need. And that would be my offer from the Flames, Buffalo likely counters with replacing Poirier with one of Zary or Pelletier. And honestly I'd probably still do that. Eichel + Gaudreau really has electric potential.

Personally he's just included in mine because he's a cap dump that might have some value as a change of scenary candidate.
There will need to be some guys like that in an Eichel trade because tough to take on $10M of salary without moving a guy like that.
