Do you think the Avalanche are considering loaning MacKinnon to the World Juniors? I doubt it.

It would depend on how Calgary, and Monahan individually, are playing around the time of the tournament. Colorado is potentially a contender (I know it's early, but they look so good right now) and loaning MacKinnon would make little sense for them. Calgary is in a rebuild, and if they're out of the playoff race by December loaning Monahan would be fine. Of course, if Calgary is still close by December they should probably keep him.
