Sujet: Wilson makes a splash - My Final take on the Sharks until Draft Day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>You have yet to point out any actual reasons other than likely the one I already stated which is moving a C for LW and in turn hurting your C depth.

But in reality you haven’t actually said any arguments to my post or what I typed up. You can disagree with that trade and I can accept that or understand it but to say there is no sense is funny. Because an easy one is you’re objectively getting a much better player.</div></div>

But how is Kane a much better player? Monahan (26) put up 82 points in 78 games in 18-19. He's typically good for 60 a season with an above 50% face-off percentage and strong 200 foot game. Kane (29) put up 30 goals twice in his career and actually has a much lower points per game than Monahan (Kane .65 PPG vs. Monahan .74 PPG). Kane has also been traded multiple times. So in this scenario, Calgary is trading the younger, statistically better, player for the older player that has already been moved multiple times that plays a position that's their strength. That's why it makes no sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>In the post I typed a Kane trade would need a mutual interest. The example being Calgary IS interested in Kane. We cannot predict the future. So the example is Calgary for sake of convenience.

As for the swap; Kane plays left or right and it provides Calgary with potentially the most value for Monahan. It definitely wouldn’t be great for the C depth but if the offers for Sean are low, and with his recent play. It’s a very replaceable C on the UFA market. As there are a good chunk of decent middle 6 C’s. I don’t think it’s terrible if Calgary lines up a UFA C and then gaining Kane would bring a legit threat into the line up</div></div>
You’re assuming there will be interest, I’m telling you that makes no sense due to age/contract/handedness. Out of curiosity, when was the last time Kane played RW and did he look any good there? As far as I was aware he’s played LW pretty exclusively for a while now. Regardless, 6 left shot wingers in your top 9 isn’t exactly a great situation. And Monahan’s a 30 goal top six centre when healthy (which he will be), you don’t find those in free agency. It might not be super far off in value, but Kane just doesn’t fill a need for Calgary, especially at the cost of a centre, an important position we are looking to improve on, not weaken. If we don’t get good offers for Mony that actually address our needs we’re more than fine to keep him, seems like everyone is ignoring his ability to score goals (19-20 was a down year and he was still on pace for 26, and then this year he was hurt), but Calgary still values that if nobody else will.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Monahan does not have more value than Kane, lol.. he’s objectively worse and Kane is worth his full cap hit. Where it’s easily arguable Sean is not.
He’s had a down couple seasons now and just hasn’t been a lead Center.

Don’t see how there’s “no sense” - there is some sense but I never suggested this was a sure fire trade for both ends. I very much would hesitate this from both ends; which in turn means there is some sense to the move.</div></div>
It doesnt make sense for calgary to trade a position of weakness (centre) for a position of strength (left shot wingers). We have 5 left shot wingers for our top 9 already, with Pelletier looking to join that group as well (Heineman won’t crack the team next year, but he also shoots left). If Kane was a right shot then maybe, but he’s not. When you add in his off ice issues and the fact that he’s older and costs more there just isn’t much interest for Calgary at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>The reason he's worth that much to Detroit is that he's playing 1st line for them.

<strong>No team in any league on the planet</strong> trades away their first liners without an overpayment.

The original offer sets back our rebuild with the number of years it takes for Dubé to achieve the same production that Bertuzzi gives us, both offensively and defensively.

That's what you're paying for.</div></div>

Bad players play on first lines all the time (not that I’m saying bertuzzi is bad) but Brett Ritchie played on Calgary’s top line, zack kassian played in the oilers top line, dominik Simon played on the pens top line and I’m sure there’s others just because a player played in the top lines doesn’t mean they have lots of value. Also dube played on the flames top line for like 20 games this year so it’s not like he’s a bottom six player.
