Unfortunately, I think if you can't ink Johnny to an extension of something like $7M x 7 (it'd be ideal if it was 5 years, but no way can I see him doing that), then it's time to move on from him.
I'd be willing to give Monahan another year, and see how Sutter works with him over the summer. If there's a good trade to be had, then I'd for sure be ok trading him. I just don't think you're going to get much of anything right now. I feel like we'd be trading him for pennies on the dollar, and if that's the case, I'd rather just keep him.
I wish we can trade Backlund, but I don't see that happening either. Lindholm I'd absolutely keep. Chucky I would keep unless we can get something good for him. Gio, I'm ok either way.
