You inferred he was a fluke. I took exception to that.
He is 21 years old and outside the prior health issues, has proven that he should be under consideration.
I know the Canada skill level at forward is ridiculous....just believe he is very under rated.
I read a post a month ago where a poster thought we may be able to get Skinner for Backlund.
On a side note, if Monahan has his numbers at 18 or 21 I suspect the Flames fanbase would be ecstatic and expecting some consideration for the 2018 games. I hope he does.

I didn't infer he was a fluke I said we have to wait to see if his 30 game where he is at a PPG is a fluke based on a small sample or if where he has improved his game.
You seemed to take a lot of offense that I said he was a good player and going to miss out.
Of course him for Backlund is ridiculous but we shouldn't be basing things on crazy trade proposals from homer fans.
