Regardless of how he is performing he is the best they got right now… Just like us Regardless of what you think of him Armia is still significantly better than the next guy in our depth chart. One of the biggest reason NYR is look for a C is that he lost Chytil so they are already down 1 top 9 get rid of Kakko that is 2 top 9, even if Monahan is better than both individually in the playoff it your weakest link that will cost you. Even if they trade Kakko for Monahan they are likely to make an other move to replace Kakko, Kakko might be on the block but I think he will likely return a roster player that isn’t a rental or get move in the off season.
