Thread: How many of you said MoNaHaN iS nOt WoRtH a FiRsT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Camper27</b></div><div>Congrats, on getting what you received from the Jets.

Hopefully, Monahan brings what we are hopeful for a "productive 2C" going forward. The cost that was paid was a hefty one, probably driven upward by the price paid in the Lindholm deal the other day. I still have concerns about his injury history over the last couple years. As a final comment, still believe that a current year mid second round pick (45 - 52) would have been a fair return for this trade.

Many of the Mtl supporters called it as it played out. Congrats!!!!</div></div>

Yeah, I think most fans on both sides knew how this was going to play out. It’s unfortunate the extremes on both sides masked the reality,
Habs fans thinking a 1st and a top prospect with Jets fans a 3rd. Realistically speaking, an inconsequential late 1st has always been the going rate at the deadline, always has been.
Hope it works out for both teams.

Thread: Does this get it done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>According to JFresh hockey, Monahan’s defence was way better than Copp’s. Copp was actually quite awful analytically. Monahan also has more pts on 5v5 than on pp. He hasn’t scored a pp goal in a long time. On top of that, he plays with ****ty linemates</div></div>

Way better? Come on! Seriously? Plus, if using JFresh, let’s use all the metrics then and not ignore all the other negative metrics then eh? There’s a lot of ****ty red all over Monahan’s card while Copps card looks quite respectable actually, lots of nice blue.
Monahan is a nice complimentary player, but he would have a very limited role on a contender. Would a GM overpay for him? Sure, it’s TDL mania and GMs get stupid. Hell, Montreal got a haul for a terrible D in Chiarot. Anything’s possible, but those deals are the rarity rather than the norm.
