Most of Treliving’s moves last couple years made sense in some fashion. But moving Monahan with a first to get cap room (for Kadri(!)) when he could have just been more aggressive with LTIR made no sense to me.

Completely agree. I can see that the intention was to capitalize on Huby and Weegar's sweetheart deals last season and to let the full team build from day 1 of training camp, but obviously that involved the risk of what happened.
I always figured Monahan may/may not be a part of a playoff push, but that 1st could have been better used to fill a specific need at TDL (or not used at all in a bad season).
Only silver lining is that Monahan didn't end up fetching a return at TDL (though it sucks for him), as it would've sucked to add another pick/prospect to the ledger on the Kadri deal.
