Quoting: kster34
My apologies, I had no idea Fran615 was in favour of this trade. Gimme a break, who are you - howie meeker jr
. I never said leafs shouldn’t add at tdl, just not Monaghan and definitely not for a 1st. He was just dumped with a 1st after years of playing poorly; he’s started ok but it’s only 20 games. And he’s on a huge ticket and he’s a rental, pending FA. NO chance, imo, he fetches a 1st at tdl but if he does, I hope it’s not the leafs
I see your point andd you're right about the LEafs needing to add.
As for Monahan, I honestly 'believe' (removing my Habs-fan bias) that he could fetch a 1st if he keeps playing like the last 3 weeks. We'll see.
With half salary return, and by taking on a bad contract, I truly believe that.
For example, they got a 1st rounder ONLY so a team could get some cap space.
So I could see his value - come TDL, that's important to mention - could very well reach a 1st.
The fact that he was given with a 1st doesn't come into play at TDL negos though, you know that.
But I see your point 100%, I really do.
The thing is, I did warch the last 5 games and I was really impressed by his strong play.
The whole thing relies on... can he keep it up lol
