I think we know with some level of certainty that ownership and management were not entertaining the idea of moving Monahan and/or Gaudreau at the TD. And quite frankly, I disagree that this was tbe right time to do it. Young players with term are almost never traded at the TD because these sorts of deals are always more complex, requiring more active NHL players involved. The best time to have traded them was last offseason, but the flat cap and the pandemic no doubt badly interfered with any efforts to do so. They can still be moved this summer, although in there will also be the obstacle of a NTC to contend with.
