It's simple, really. Every cup winner since 2006 has had a better 1C than Monahan. Datsyuk (and Zetterberg).
Getzlaf. Kopitar. Crosby (and Malkin).Toews. Kuznetsov(and Backstrom). Bergeron. Monahan (or Bennett) taking a huge step as a creator is what this team needs more than anythig. As-is, Monahan is close to the likes of Krejci and Carter as a vital, but non-foundational piece for a cup team.

If we can sign Tavares and swap Monahan for an equally elite piece that can better fit a Gaudreau-Tavares-Tkachuk power play (like Brayden Point) we will be a top team. Of course I don't actually expect us to sign Tavares, so our hopes ride on some serious strides from the pieces we have.
