So as an example
- Team acquires Dvorak and Toffoli
- Team feels confident they can re-sign Johnny
- Team feels less confident they can re-sign Tkachuk beyond his one year option
So they move Tkachuk in the off-season and going forward the new group is a re-signed Johnny+Dvorak+Toffoli perhaps also minus Monahan.

1. I don't think there's a way/trade that makes sense where you can acquire both Toffoli and Dvorak in this season without shipping out a salary like Monahan. MAYBE, maybe Dube+ right at the trade deadline, but I'm thinking the +s would have to be interesting.
2. Dvorak+Toffoli is in no way comparable to either Tkachuk/johnny from a contribution to winning team perspective. That better not be the plan.
