Times have changed, you said it yourself. Cap is rising and cap space is not worth what it used to be. Treliving traded Monahan at a time when cap space was the most valuable, making basically an all-in move for a roster that was clearly not ready to go all-in, in hindsight. It was a huge mistake, but we're years past it now and in a completely different phase of team building, so probably time to let it go.
