Thread: Both teams go for it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>You seem to be ignoring half of this trade. You'd be moving a 3rd round pick and getting a 1st for a guy who has barely played over the last couple of seasons. You'd be subtracting one forward from your roster and adding another, who you could immediately flip for at least a 3rd. You literally just went through this exact scenario with Petry...

I purposely skewed the value heavily in your favour and you still find a reason to complain.</div></div>

You haven't skewed anything in my favour and that has been explicitly explained to you. I originally went with Monahan and the 3rd for the 1st, no retention. You said Monahan retained for the 1st. I agreed.

Still absolutely no use in paying full price for another winger with term. It's not complaining when I'm simply trying to get through to you.

If Monahan is a viable trade piece it's because he's healthy and performing, meaning the 1st would be a typical expectation for Monahan retained. There is nothing skewed except your oblivious view, half of this trade is counterproductive for MTL and can be cut out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>Literally so I wouldn't have to argue over it, but here we are! You realize we're talking about a 3rd round pick here, right? The guy scored 20 goals last year, is great both ways and is paid like a 3rd/4th liner for the next few years. Why can't you just base your opinions on similar trades as a precedent? Are you telling me you wouldn't accept this trade as the Habs?</div></div>

Why would we move a draft pick, as a rebuilding squad, for another winger and block more roster spots? Oh, and for multiple years? This makes no sense from an organizational standpoint. If TOR can get more for Jarnkrok then from a Leaf standpoint it would make sense for them to take the better option. MTL using their final retention on Monahan means there isn't a slot open to increase Jarnkroks value, we also don't have a roster spot available for him. Wtf are we going to use him for? You're asking us to PAY you to have him sit in the pressbox until something better comes along. No thanks. Like I said, if you can get more so easily then why don't you go do so? I'll wait. Going to be disappointed when nobody offers anything more than that 3rd you "discounted" him for, if anybody even wants to offer anything.
