Sean Monahan has signed for 5 years with the Columbus Blue Jackets (5.5M AAV)
FUUUUUUUUUU I'M GETTING 2022 FLASHBACKS
Monny being reunited with Johnny is literally the only thing that could have happened to make me completely forget everything and be happy to see Monny with his best buddy.
Am I seriously the only Flames fan who hates that Calgary management thought those two could get it done?
Monahan was so injury prone. And he wasn't an elite 1C. I understand 1Cs don't grow on trees and I do appreciate the attempt at remaining competitive with Lindholm and Tkachuk but Monahan and Gaudreau were in Calgary for what? Like 10 years. At what point did people realize that wasn't the recipe?
Gaudreau could be a 1LW on a cup contender, but Monahan is not a 1C on a contender, I agree (unless the 2C is Patrice Bergeron, maybe).
Monahan had all of one season with an actual quality player on RW (Lindholm) where he wasn’t injured. And over two seasons with Ferland and Lindholm as a converted winger he was a PPG 30 goal guy. Sure, that’s no Crosby or McDavid, but if we’d actually had any secondary support he’d have been perfectly fine.
