Monny could likely me moved for another player who's similar in cap hit and risk. Tarasenko comes to mind.
This always cracks me up. There's so much concern about Monahan's recovery and being able to reach the same level of play he was at, but the same posters who post this concern are just 100% on board with bringing in a guy that wants to have a surgery never performed on an NHL player, and the outcomes unknown. The risk of that $10M salary for the next five years doesn't scare people off, but the comparatively minor surgery that Monahan is recovering from is going to be a non-starter. We should be concerned about Monahan, but scared ####less over Eichel. His surgery get's screwed up, he's more worried about getting feeling back in his arms and not ever playing hockey again. The scales of magnitude here are way different.
