It would be stupid to not look at all the options. It would also be stupid to break the bank for him.
But as I said before, he fits in perfectly, and we don't exactly have many prospects gunning for that 2nd center spot. But no way should we commit long term to him, and I doubt he would accept a shorter term contract.

I would look to deal Dvorak first at deadline. His NTC kicks in this summer, and I expect Beck will earn a C spot for next year.
I also see Monahan betting on himself & signing a “show me” 2-year deal at present AAV ($6M) taking him to 30, positioning him for his final long term retirement deal. Given his hip issues I don’t foresee any team offering him a longterm deal this summer
If Monahan is willing to go short term, his experience + leadership would serve the team well over next couple of years
Thats the point player is looking for max coin
Colorado or Dallas is the right trading partner , he gone .
Leadership , etc....all hockey talk rubbish
Why bother giving him 2 years when the team is going nowhere
Half this team might be gone by next year , SM doesnt fit what this team needs

Because IMO this will be the last year of any rebuild, retool etc. Next season will be a push towards making the playoffs, including off season acquisitions to achieve said goal

If Monahan continues to play at this level, he won’t have to bet on himself. He’d be a veteran who has demonstrated a recovery from injuries. He’d get 5 years easily, I think.
I'd trade him for a first round pick, even knowing full well that the player we draft with that pick will likely not be as good a player as Sean was/is . . . but he'll be much younger and will thus fit the actual timeline for this team, not the fantasy one that Sal keeps referring to.
Cmon , last year of a rebuild
There are only a handful of players on this roster that fit long term
Why give SM 2 years when he is flushed out the door like a dozen other players in 2 years , ridiculous.
You want to start sprinting when the product can barely walk
Hugo isnt spending big in the UFA market because it rarely works
Too much surgery still to do before regime has any idea what the next steps will be
