"trade him"
Well MAYBE in the summer you could pull it off, right now I highly doubt it. Believe it or not NHL GM's have also seen him play and the salary cap is a thing these days.
Who has 6.4M kicking around for Monahan this year and next? You could sit him for Richardson or Ritchie, he still counts against the cap though and I think he is still likely better than those two.
Right. Nice premise. I don’t see that in here at all. You literally state that it’s impossible to move him

maybe, just maybe, you are coming into a conversation 2+ pages deep and jumping in based on one post. At least you haven't mentioned you know who yet.
"cut him loose"
is easy to say...sure we could trade Gaudreau and Monahan for a 5th if we are just going to ignore the reality that a GM isn't going to hurt his 1st place team intentionally.
Realistically how do you move Monahan this season and improve the team though.
Besides like I said paying someone to take him isn't "cutting him loose" which was the original discussion. In the NHL with guaranteed contracts you can't cut players loose
Also I'm 55 so don't #### with me
