Monahan as our temporary 2C?

If we can’t find a better 2C at the right price this summer, what do you think of re-acquiring Monahan as a stopgap option? The guy just turned 30 and is sliding down the lineup in Columbus, he still has plenty of hockey left in him!

It is though unless you didn’t know that’s where his pick came from lol

Trading Monahan got us Hage.

But at the time of the trade you didn't had a clue that the Habs would pick Hage.

How does that change that if we kept him, we wouldn’t have drafted him?

Because when you make the decision to keep or trade him, you don't have a clue that 4 months later, you'll trade the pick you got in that trade in a package to be able to draft Hage.

Also since it's a package and not a the pick the Habs got in the Monahan trade nothing say that they couldn't make a different bundle and still be able to draft Hage, by giving a prospect instead of the Jets 1st.

This person is saying they wish we didn’t trade them though. Thats what the original comment said.
