Team: 2023-24 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 12, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I know Montreal fans will think I'm undervaluing Monahan, but can a guy who was dumped a year ago and is only scoring at roughly a 0.5 ppg pace really worth more than 2 2nds a B level prospect?

For reference here are some comparable centers traded at the deadline:

Derrick Brassard (age 33) was above 0.5 ppg and had good faceoff numbers, really cheap contract and had 50% salary retained, but was only worth a 4th round pick

Marcus Johansson (age 30) was just a hair under 0.5 ppg and can play all 3 forward positions, was on a 1.5 million dollar contract and had 50% retained and was only worth a 4th and a 6th

Jeff Carter (age 35) was at 0.5 ppg when he was traded from LA to Pittsburg with 50% retention and was only worth a 3rd and a 4th.

Tyler Ennis (age 30) was above 0.5 ppg with 14 goals and was on an 800k contract and was traded for only a 5th rounder

Now Monahan is better than all those players, but I think his value is less than other big name centers who were moved at the deadline like O'Reilly, Copp, and Statsny in 2018
