MTL declines
Monahan's already been training with Evans all summer
Something tells me thats why MTL was even interested in Monahan as they coulda got more out of CGY thanks to Monahan's M-NTC it eliminated most of CGY cap dump options.
MTL coulda kept pressing for more like the other 21 teams not on his M-NTC list did obviously
He's a bulk faceoffs guy who we can sell at the TDL even if he sucks worse offensively this year as long as he continues to win Faceoffs.
Plekanec in his career worst year just before his contract was terminated and he left the NHL the TML paid a 2nd and 2 prospects based on Faceoff Ability Alone.
There's countless examples of overpaying for mediocre Center's even in their worst years before they wash out . Eric Staal for example got a 3rd and a 5th despite sucking up until that point (went on a great SCF run where his faceoff ability was key to his line being 2nd in production among other things behind on Toffoli-Suzuki-Caufield.
There's 100% always going to be value on pending UFA Centers who can win 55% or higher in faceoffs.
Its why despite missing an entire year and crapping the bed in the Olympics Eric Staal has a PTO in FLA a top playoff team from last year.
The Value of Consistent Faceoff Centers will always be there as its no where near as easy as everyone pretends especially as Faceoff Rules Evolve.
