I don't think Drouin or Dadonov get that return, even with retention.

Drouin has been injured and healthy scratched and looked unimpressive, hope for a 5th if you're lucky, IMO I don't think anyone offers him anything.

Monahan would fetch a first with retention, but I don't think Toronto would give up that 1st, and they are currently at the contract limit, so, a body would have to come back in return to avoid losing someone else to waivers or be forced to make another trade.

Monahan doesn't do anything for the leafs either...

-Who does Monahan improve on in the Leafs' top 6? I gotta assume that a team spending a 1st line is getting a top flight asset, so Monahan would have to play on one of the top two lines - so who does he replace?

-Combining the last two into one: what have either Drouin or Dadonov done this season to prove any sort of positive value? Drouin's hurt (again) and Dadonov's recent two-game scoring "streak" has him "up" to 4 points in 23 GP this year. It would take a big turnaround for either of these guys to become tradable assets.

3C not top 6.
