Has to be Monahan.
He’s fantastic.... like 1-2 games in a 10 game stretch.
At least Gaudreau has shown up a bit this year, and has also still put up points no matter the coach.
Tkachuk gets a longer leash for me, this is his first off year. But, if you have to include him in a deal to get a franchise C (almost no one out there is available except maybe Eichel), then
maybe you explore trading him.
All 3 have a case for be traded, but if only one could be I would be sending Monahan off. He’s had his chance, and he hasn’t been effective with or without Gaudreau this season. Time to cut ties with him. Trade him to a center-starved team like Montreal, Columbus, Ottawa, etc. All of them have draft pick capital and some really good prospects.
