I'm a fan of getting this deal done. I want to rebuild, or I want to swing for the fences. I'm done with status quo.
Love Monahan more than most, but if Eichel is incoming he has to go. Backlund is the vastly superior shut down centre. Having Monahan as anything but a consistent top 6 centre is a waste of his talents for him and the team. If the Eichel ask is Tkachuk or Lindholm, that changes things. Then maybe convert Monahan to the wing.
