Too bad Hughes "had" to trade him.
?
What does benefit our Team have if we didn't trade Monahan at the deadline..?
We'd have a better % powerplay..?
Is this what you want out of the season, is this what you want out of dealing with assets?
Say they didn't trade Monahan, and we dont get an extra pick, and he
doesn't re-sign at the end of the year , your take would be "well at least he added 2% to our PP" ? And we lose him for nothing?
In your mind I'm guessing you're doing everything to re-sign him?, and I'm not knocking that , I like him a lot too
What I'm trying to say is, you can
still trade him and
still do everything you can to re-sign him and
still get an extra 1st out of the whole thing even if he doesn't sign
Which it doesn't really seem like HuGo had an interest in doing anyway
They tried to do this last year but he got hurt so we couldn't move him, we were amazingly lucky enough to re-sign him and rry again, and you bet your ass the second Kent got offered the 1st he ran and took it to the bank
And as we saw from all the TDL returns, it was a pretty wise move indeed
