He’s certainly worth more than a couple 2nd rounders at this point the guy isn’t an Arvidsson or Bennett, he’s a top 6 Center who plays through injuries and with a teams top wingers at a great cap hit. Can we give the guy just a little more respect?

No one should hate Monahan. IMO the guy is a warrior who absorbs punishment and plays through injuries, although they certainly seem to affect his play.
What exactly is his trade value though as measured in draft picks, which are kind of an objective measuring stick (don’t have to value the player coming back).
If 2 seconds is crazy low, what are you suggesting? IMO he’s not getting you 2 firsts. Is a first and a third fair? That’s a little better than 2 seconds, depending where the picks fall.
