For me it's the third line. And one of the top paid forward is on that line.
If we want to bring high priced player and to improve top 6, we need to rid some salary.
If you think bottom 2 lines doing their job okay, the I think we can find much cheaper player to do Monahan's current role.
May be we can sign Eric Staal after the Olympics for playoffs.

We also have a team that is rolling and playing physical consistent hockey and scoring a ton of goals while giving up very few. Do we want to make changes to completely disrupt this teams chemistry? I don’t want that. Add a good rw and play him in Ritchie spot and keep Ritchie for depth or if we play a big physical team in playoffs. Add a rw and kerp everyone else doesn’t disrupt this team very much but could be a huge add to an already good team
Figure out monahan in the summer. He should go imo but the time isn’t now. If we are adding and removing too many players history shows high end trade deadline acquisitions often don’t produce as much on new team. This team is good enough if you add a toffolli to the mix
