Thread: Monahan much value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nyr_buck</b></div><div>is this satire?</div></div>
I swear people in the community are convinced to the core that Monahan is a better hockey player than Lindholm.
I'll say I think there'll be more suitors for him because of the low cap hit therefore more teams can trade for him but as far as hockey goes the points comparison doesn't make sense between these two.

I don't see it making sense from a cap perspective as well as not being a good fit.</div></div>
I mean he ain't playing behind the same defense either... As of right now LA defense's miles ahead of Montreal's so the comparison is skewed.

Thread: Ideal Trade Deadline
OP:
I had a similar trade proposal a few days ago with McConnell-Barker instead of Sykora and was told I was dreaming, Gorton/NYR feud aside it seems like a good match. My thinking is that once Elias is off the table there's likely going to be a race to the next best center available considering we're in a seller market year. A future protected 1st (Likely health and/or position protected) and a prospect should close the deal. I'd give the option of sending either one of these three; McConnell-Barker, Sykora and Berard.
As a MTL fan I'd love if they could put their egos aside and make hockey trades but we'll see.

We could compare Monahan's trade value to one's of Copp and Stastny. Different skillset I agree but I feel like a lot of fans forget one thing about those comparison, salary. Why would Monahan fetch anything close to what the others brought? Cause he's paid about 29% of what Stastny was at the time of trade and 60% of Copp. He obviously isn't a comparable when it comes to health but who cares if you're taking him for -at most- 30 games? Health clauses have already been seen (Upgrades to X is player Y plays 50% of playoff games) so I don't really see where a GM would be unwilling to part ways with a good prospect and a highly conditioned pick.
Pretty sure he fetches at least a conditional 1st based upon other previous deals.
