Description

I think this deal, in spite of being a heavy premium to pay above Monahan’s value, makes CGY a much better team both immediately and long-term.

And the more I think about it, the more I love how these lines would work. Bennett and Lindholm can split C duty on the 2nd line.

And giving Johnny two physical play driving partners who can produce offense gives him the best chance to find his best level, IMO.

I see this lineup and believe it’s got the depth and makeup to give CGY a real shot at going deeper in the playoffs than with Monahan.

I did a PLD trade yesterday. Monahan and 1st someone said make it a 3rd. They told me Columbus takes that and runs

I hear that. I’m always proposing the max price I’d consider paying to get the deal done. I agree this is a substantial premium to pay to acquire Dubois. Any deal that doesn’t include a CGY 1st round pick is a great deal — that’s my take.

I could see Treliving getting a deal done for Monahan + 2021 3rd (EDM), and that would be a great move. Have to think Jarmo has bought himself enough time to earn a slightly higher return for Dubois with the recent contract and a great AAV. Cap savings are valuable.

Tbh this looks solid. I’d say
PLD > Monny

So the first + Killy likely closes the value.

My issue is, I heard Monny sucks defensively. Wouldn’t he struggle under Tortz system?

I wouldn’t say he sucks defensively. He’s worked on that side of his game over the years and has improved. He’s always been in an offensive role though playing with Gaudreau. Solid on face offs. He would be much better defensively playing in a Tortorella or Trotz system.
