I think they really would have loved Monahan.

It's true, the management doesn't have faith in Gagner and most fans echo those sentiments. If they truly believed he was a long term fixture on this team, there wouldn't be an arbitration hearing in the first place, nor would there have been MacT publicly addressing the media that Monahan was the guy who they wanted at #7. Despite putting up the point totals, Gagner is an extremely flawed player. Nurse will be alright, but it sucks they missed out on Monahan or Lindholm, should've tanked.
