Quoting: Xqb15a
So COL is underperforming when they played basically the entire season being in a playoff spot and missing 4-9 regulars including multiple guys in the top 6 and almost half the season missing 2 of their top 4 dmen?
Yeah values change my guy but you’re trying to tell me right now somebody is giving up a 1st for Monahan 50% retained for a guy who hasn’t scored 30 pts in 3 years and is tracking for 50 for the first time since 18-19? If he has 50 at the deadline sure maybe somebody ponies up but COL isn’t that team right now and COL isn’t trading their only pick in the first 5 rounds for a guy they can’t re-sign even if he performs like it’s 18-19.
point #1 - Apparently you didn't finish reading my post, which you quoted "or experiencing injury depth issues", reading long sentences can be hard, i understand.
point #2 - I'm not "your guy"
point #3 - yeah, Tampa traded 2 firsts for Hagel, Florida traded a 1st for Chiarot, Copp has never broken the 40 point plateau, and essentially got a conditional 1st.... it happens, whether you choose to gaslight or not, history is history.
point #4 - you cherry pick "tracking since 18-19 for over 50 points, included 2 injury seasons and 2 shortened seasons.
point #5 - to your house having no value, who cares what happened the previous 3 years, teams will pay for what he can do now, not what happened, we're not talking a contract extension, we're talking deadline acquisition, I don't think any GM in the league cares what he scored in 19-20, they care about what he can do now.... and what he has demonstrated now is, he can center his own line, he can play up the lineup in a wing position, and potentially do so for a pro-rated $3M..... that has value. (contrary to people yelling over and over "he was a cap dump 4 months ago)
point #6 - Colorado was an example of a team who could consider it (supposition), may even consider re-signing him cheap if he gels well, I don't think Monahan is going to get any 7 year offers, and again, other teams are in the mix, so, a better picture of how many buyers, and what are the situation will depend on who's ranked where come TDL time. If Colorado is outside a playoff spot, with no expectation of LTIR's coming to an end before the playoffs (Kuchervo style), then, they may feel the push to make the playoffs, context and circumstances matter, not ignorantly yelling "cap dump" over and over again hoping someone with half a brain accepts that as a valid response
I know, that was a lot of sentences again, I got tired halfway writing it, reading it must be even harder, i apologize for that, my guy.
