I think Monahan gets too little credit. He's not a huge difference maker on the ice anymore but you have to give him credit for nutting up and taking whatever role he's been given, and giving maximum effort.
Yes he's overpaid and yes he's not scoring, but he's still a member of the leadership group, is good buddies with the team's top players, and is a good team guy. He's also far better than whoever steps in to replace him -- Gawdin? Richardson? -- so why bother?
Shipping him out now upsets chemistry at exactly the wrong time. This is a team that's gelling big time. Don't do anythign to get in the way of that.
