Quoting: Billy316
7 teams in 11 years says otherwise
Average of 10minutes of Icetime in the Playoffs with 13 pts in 53 games with a 47% win rate in the faceoff circle
Overall when the going gets tough Namestenkovs a no show on 7 teams including in Draft team who dumped him to immediately win a Cup
I agree with the other 2 hands down you're right
But i call Bs on Namestenkov
Monahan doesnt have the same hang ups with 10 goals 21 points in 30 playoff games with a 50% win rate playing 19 minutes
But play him 4th line if you want , come playoffs it'll be him not namestenkov who's logging minutes as a 3rd C
Again, no one cares and it doesn't matter that Monahan wasn't as bad as he is now at some point in his career. Only now matters.
The plain simple truth is, Monahan isn't an improvement over anyone in Winnipeg's current top 9 and isn't good enough defensively for a spot on the 4th line.
Winnipeg is one of the best teams in the NHL right now. Adding a bad player, that fills no need, and isn't fast enough to play in their system doesn't help them. It makes them worse.
