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...

Perhaps but Detroits rebuild isn’t at a point where they are looking to add a guy like Monahan
