Sujet: Will some people own up to their own criticism
Kakko was one example - here is one with VGK for 1st plus good prospects;

How about 6 in one deal?

There are more, but I just found the ones I commented on…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fran615</b></div><div>You alllllmoooosttt did it.

Just say you were wrong, without immediately following it up with another attempt at bashing.

I have found NO ONE on here proposing Monahan (alone) for Kappo + a 1st. NOT ONE TRADE PROPOSAL like that. Not one.
That's all in your mind.

So yes, you were wrong, Thank you for saying it. You're one of the few who has humility and balls.

And no, people were saying a 2nd round pick + Kappo. Not a 1st + Kappo.

And if you happened to find a SINGLE example, then it would not be a Habs fan (there are trolls here...), or maybe someone who doesn't know... but I have not seen ONE in the last month.

But great on you for the first part of your message.</div></div>

Sujet: An argument supporting Monahans value
The one element I'd add to all the other good points as to why Monahan isn't a good fit (for the Avs at least) is to (from the Avs perspective at least) negate the point that Habs fans fall back on EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Guys like Chiarot may have fetched a first. It was an overpay then and it didn't work out. I won't even go into Lehky as that's apples and akebi. Drouin and the arguments in that regard made by Habs fans? Apples and *insert another fruit here that is utterly different*. As a non-Habs example remember the whopping overpay Tampa made for Jeannot from Nashville? Those deals SHOULD make GMs more wary of making a similar mistake and if there is one front office that has proven themselves lairy of that kind of thing it's the one in Colorado. Deadline rentals (or even longer term additions in the immediate circumstances) rarely if ever make a huge difference. Even additions prior for that matter. The definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over and expect different results. Every year teams do it and most front offices fail to learn. It's almost a 'Well I have to be seen to do something at the deadline' mentality. So don't get me wrong there may be a front office foolish enough to do it, but Monahan simply isn't worth a first, at least not to the Avs......and that is the point when it comes to the Avs, the only team I'm going to speak for in a direct fashion as, if I'm honest, I don't have enough knowledge of other front offices in any depth (we all tend to know more about our own team than any other by the definition of being fans). If GMCM does that (and who of us truly knows?) then he's certainly more foolish than I think he is.
