This article was horribly written, but there are some legitimate reasons to send Monahan down before game 10. Of course, there are also legitimate reasons to keep him up. Thankfully, for the first time in a long time, I have faith in Flames management to weigh the options and make the right decision.
Umm, we dumped a 6 and a half million dollar contract that no one a year ago thought would be possible to move and turned it into Emile Poirier, Reto Berra and mark Cundari. And considering J-Bo was on his last year of contract also, I'd say we did better than expected- and we were smart enough not to retain salary to do it.
