The expendable player is Backlund, but that is not an easy contract to sell to a team. Who out there has a RW with a contract that is substantial, but could use the center depth and experience of Backlund?
Eberle and Seattle?
Detroit and Zadina, if Calgary adds?
Columbus and domi?

Montreal? Depending on what they want to do with their team. Anderson has underperformed but has a LNTC. And of course Toffoli. But I don’t see them losing those guys and picking up Monahan. Though his contract is way shorter term than Anderson FWIW.
Columbus is wing heavy but I think it wouldn’t be Domi they’d dump because he’s more a TDL rental trade for picks. Maybe Nyqvist or Bjorkstrand.
I suppose Philly might deal a winger. Would they trade 3.5 years of Atkinson for 1.5 of Monahan? Risky because Atkinson is under contract until he’s 35.
