Quoting: Juiceman
A first and third or Bourgault for Monahan? That is arguably more than what Andrew Copp and Claude Giroux got. Monahan just got dumped for a first round pick, can't expect him to be that valuable. A first and top prospect will go for guys like Kane and Horvat. Not guys like Monahan.
Edit: Just curious to what you think Bo Horvat is worth. He has more goals than Monahan has points this season
Did you read it wrong? It's a 1st + 3rd OR Bourgault. First, Monohan has been playing better than copp was last year, plus copp got a 1st and a 2nd, like dude, that's more than 1st and 3rd or Bourgault.
On Giroux, he forced Philly to send him to Florida, thus they didn't have much leverage to ask for much, if he didn't have a NTC, I would've expected he could've fetched more than double than what he got.
Now, the notion that Monohan got dumped with a 1st, therefore making him not worth much is totally false. He got dumped w/ that because
A. They were in a tight cap situation, and needed Kadri, before he signed elsewhere
B. He was injured so he wasn't playing well.
Imo he might only have costed a 2nd or 3rd and 4th to dump if it wasn't such a dire situation
Based on that clueless part of the comment, I'd assume you haven't watched monohan this year, nor have checked his stats, as, if you look at either and especially both, you'd realize he is playing like a 1B center this year. He's been amazing defensively too.
Once again I'm not saying 1st and Bourgault, I am saying one or the other, and with how he's playing with 50 % retention, no doubt he's worth that.
