I'd argue I'd does just that since it's one year of term. If the alternative is UFAs, we've seen firsthand how that plays out when it comes time to lock in your valuable young pieces. I acknowledge my trade was out of whack so we can forget it.
The thing with Monahan though - what examples are there of C's being dumped with sweeteners or bought out?
Wennberg - though he was young enough that it was a 1/3 BO. He did 1x2.25 and now he's back up to 3x4.5M
Was Ryan Spooner a C? I didn't realize he was on a 2x4M deal when EDM traded for him. Hahahahahaha. I think that was another 1/3 BO.
Tyler Ennis...
Antoine Vermette - strange one - ARI traded him to CHI for a 1st at the 2015 TDL. ARI signed him July 1 to a 2x3.75M. He had 17G 38P and then they bought him out (despite pretty fair 3C production?). He had 2 more serviceable years in ANA.
Stephan Weiss in 2015.
Tyler Johnson (3x5M remaining)+ 2nd for B Seabrook 3yrs of LTIR is the only trade I can think of...and it's a little mind-bottling to compute the cash/LTIR implications.
My point is that overpaid 2-3Cs don't get bought out or sweetened away nearly as often as any other position...
