Thread: Will some people own up to their own criticism
I said myself a 2nd and a prospect is the range for most of the players towards the top of the trade boards - including Monahan. Have a good weekend.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fran615</b></div><div>The first 2 are not what I'm talking about. Monahan alone traded for Kappo and a 1st. That's not what these are.

The last one, I agree it's a bit much. There's no Kappo and a 1st as well. But I won't defend that one for sure.
That is an extremely rare occurence. I haven't seen anything like that one... so I agree with you. In every fanbases, there are outliers.
I was people offering a 5th round pick for Monahan.... with retention and a 3rd going back. And they defended it.

But in any case, look at the ACGM thread I posted yesterday: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4861727

The overwhelming majority of Habs fans had Monahan going for either a 1st, or a 2nd+prospect. Can you agree on that?

And I will agree on the fact that some other non-Habs fans also had Monahan going for a 1st; I saw a good portion of it.

I dont want to pick a fight here again haha</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fran615</b></div><div>The vast majority of Leafs fans would agree that this trade offer is low ball considering market value.

Monahan is NOT worth 2 1st round picks, you're right. Too much.
And he is NOT worth 2 AHLers either. Too little.

If you remove your fan-bias, and look at current market value, you know that your offer will be declined 100 times out of 100.
It was done out of spite. And no one thinks Monahan is worth 2 X 1st round picks.

Let's be fair here. Level headed, unbiased, market value.

Cheers!</div></div>

Agreed all around. Monahan will likely fetch a late first rounder or maybe a 2nd + okayish prospect but very unlikely that deal is with Toronto (I just got a notification saying Winnipeg is close to landing him).

From Toronto's point of view, I'd like to see if we could get Evans instead at a lower cost...guy can give C depth and help the PK and has another year left at a good cap
