General managers have a long memory. Sean Monahan is a capable top six center that has had one poor season playing through a publicly known injury.
Do you think Treliving views Monahan as a cap dump? I sure as hell don't, and nor should he. Monahan at 50% retention should easily return Buffalo a 1st round pick (+) by himself.

Yeah, I agree. Monahan is not the most electrifying player these days but I don't think he's in cap dump territory. Monahan has put a 44pt/82pg pace over last year to this year and this is at his worst. His advanced stats have still been good during this time. I think Buffalo could easily flip him for a mid to late first, especially if they're willing to retain salary.
