Monahan is a better asset than Smith, Valimaki is better than Hague, our 1st is likely better than their 1st. Krebs is probably equal or better than all of our forward prospects but the other three pieces make it a better deal overall.
If Buffalo doesn't want Monahan, what about another possible idea:

This might work out better, Vegas has no cap space so targeting Monahan over Eichel might make more sense. Monahan might not want to waive his NTC to go to Buffalo, but probably would for Vegas. Vegas adds a pick to Smith and Buffalo gets the 4 /5 futures they want. |
I quite like this idea. I think a three way trade is the way to go. Originally I was thinking with St. Louis for Tkachuk but if there was a way to do it with Monahan instead I’d be all over it.
Not sure how realistic this idea is but I think it could work with some tinkering.
