Monahan = free and will still play

Eichel= costs the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and will likely miss a significant amount of time and has a chance to never play the same way again and costs 50m for the rest of his contract.

It such a huge difference I'm shocked it's being debated.
It’s being debated because of the possible upside. The existing risk of trotting out similar roster to previous years is another playoffs miss so for me, the greater upside/greater risk has some appeal.
