Thread: Monahan realistic value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LumberJacques</b></div><div>If you don't like the asking price for Monahan then why don't you just find another player to acquire instead of debating what you believe he's actually worth ?

MTL will have a high asking price for this player because he will be in high demand. It's fine if you don't want to pay that price, just move on to another option.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>This. Context is lost on the loudest here.

Trying to explain to doubters that Monahan is worth a 1st is the same mundane task as explaining the merits of Ben Chiarot and the marketplace opportunity. It's an open market with 31 other teams bidding.

You think he aint worth it, fine, but deal with it because other teams want a low cost AAV, w/o trade protection center that wins draws and can cary a line to the tune of a 50 point pace.

He's been carrying Gallagher and Evans, two 4th liners yet produces. Teams see that and want that kind of depth not to mention that same depth carried Vegas to a Stanley Cup.

I'm sure if another <strong> UFA in William Carrier form Vegas was available he'd go for a 1st</strong> yet he has less than half of Monahan's point totals.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>So Jeanot by those logic is a top 6 player?! Teams that see themselves as having a good shot at a deep playoff run will trade what it takes to acquire the peices they think they need. Worth goes out the window when teams are trying to win</div></div>

"I'm going to make a post telling you that your player isn't worth what he's worth, don't you dare post a rebuttal telling me I'm blatantly and obviously wrong...I won't have it!!"

Thread: Please i never wanna watch him play again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LumberJacques</b></div><div>You're not wrong but this is a guy who historically has finished those chances, and lets be honest anybody but an equally snake-bitten Lehkonen would have finished at least a couple of those. I'll be more concerned about the player when he stops getting those chances.</div></div>

I actually like his play. Yeah the present bashing purely based on stats does fell like Lehky back when....

Usually snipers on a cold streak are invisible. Josh is physical, attacks the slot and get good looks. It shows great mental strength and reassures me he will get out of this slump sooner than later.

It is the fact he does get all those chances and post hits that makes it so frustrating ... and quite frankly just laughable at this point.

As for trading him, don't panic and sell low. Just go on with the season, it's not like if playoffs were the objective anyway. A Tom Wilson light at half the salary will be in demand eventually.
