Horrible take lol. If you truly think Monahan will be the same player he was this recent season go look up Vlad Tarasenko. Also it was top insiders like Frank Seravalli reporting the high interest in Monahan, not Treliving.
1 year of an enforcer who is only making 875K in actual money is a great deal for a team like Anaheim, Seattle, or Arizona. Just because your awful ex-GM has your rebuilding team perma cap-strapped for half a decade doesn't mean every other team is as well
terrible take as well on your part, 1st sharks went like 15 year as a legit cup contender and we’re paying the price for that now, mostly because of the desperation attempts at the end of our run to try and get that cup, every team after a long sustained run like ours has to reset and rebuild.
Lucic cap hit is the issue not his actual dollars and only 3-5 teams have the cap space to take him on and they are rebuilding and a 35 year old enforcer past his prime is not what they are looking for so he is a cap dump.
plus his NTC will keep him out of places like seattle or arizona.
and Monahan could recover, or not and that’s a risk that’s even more compounded with his bad hip and 6+ mil cap hit and salary.
the other problem is everyone in the NHL knows you need to shed cap to sign your FA & RFA this year.
act blind all you want you know i’m being logical here.
