I think Johnny for Forsberg would be a pretty decent change of scenery swap. Forsberg carries the bag with basically no help in a defensive system and plays a good 2 way game. His offensive production isnt that far off either.

I suspect he would be pretty close to the same production as Johnny here but better defensively. He is a very good playmaker as well. I could see it being an option to get a more creative offence for Poile. For us it might help us bleed a few less goals. It could work for both teams.

We would still need to move Monahan though to move the needle. Like others have said id be willing to move Chucky to for someone with more footspeed or in an Eichel package. I would not be gutting the whole team for Eichel though. He cant will a team to victory like McDavid.
