I would like to fully agree with that but would going from Monahan to Eichel be that big of a difference and not to mention we probably will be adding another big piece with futures included to even have a shot at Eichel.

Or do you just swing for the fences and straight up offer Monahan. Gaudreau and Tkachuk for Eichel + Hall?

What does either side have to lose at this point? It clearly isn't going to work as is. Lets see some bold moves!
On paper they are very similar but in my opinion the different is this:

Monahan is a special player that has already peaked
Eichel is a special player that still hasn't peaked

If Eichel doesn't turn out to be what we hoped, at least we tried. I just think the Monahan Tkachuk Gaudreau core experiment is over. They just don't have it. And I don't want to be qualifying Tkachuk for 9 million next year.
