Andrew Mangiapane for instance I don’t think misses Monahan at all. 2 games back with Backlund + Nordstrom and he already has a goal and an assist. We can also come to the conclusion that Nordstrom and Ritchie are also a wash.
So, Brett Ritchie might be the casualty this season. But lets say Monahan plays with another league minimum scrub because that’s all they can afford due to this team’s poor cap situation. It’ll be the same story, just with a different name.

Monahan’s cap hit is in the ballpark of a lot of centres producing the way he does. It’s a pretty decent contract still.
