Quoting: justaBoss
Went to check it out. It's pretty decent but imo there's slightly too many pieces moving there. I just wonder if there's an actual need for Monahan in BOS, and if there is why wouldn't they go after Eichel themselves as they do need a future guy with Bergeron's era coming to an end eventually.
If you read the comments i answered that but ill repeat here.
Does Boston have a need for Monahan?
- Boston doesnt have a 2C at all right now, Monahan is strictly younger than their current soon to expire 1C and has an extra year of term, he would also likely have strong chemistry with Hall like he does with Gaudreau.
Why doesnt Boston trade for Eichel instead?
1. Cap space, Boston is currently at the ceiling and Eichel cost 10M
2. Division rival, Pegula is on record saying he only wants to send Eichel out west.
3. Cost, Boston literally doesnt have the assets to acquire him without moving multiple core players
