If a team has that kind of 2C production, why would they consider trading him?

I don't know why some guys get traded.
It's funny, when possible targets that produce in the mid 50's are mentioned, many want to do better. When mid 60's is used as a target, then the feedback is who would trade that?
Anyway, reasons this season are largely around a flat Cap and trying to get rid of costly contracts where a team has an alternative, is pushed up against it, or has needs in other areas.
Why is Monahan rumored to be on the block, put up mid 60's for 4 of 7 seasons.
Rumor of D Strome on the block, was on pace to put up 59 in 82...Kirby Dach replacing him
Rumor of Domi on the block, put up 72 last season, replaced by Suzuki now
Duchene was traded in a season while playing at 1.16 ppg
ROR was traded after 3 season at 60sh pts
Point is, it does happen, and this season could see a couple more.
