My point is hind sight is 20/20 & you cherry picking Monahan 3 years after the fact is irrelevant fools gold, being that...

1. You have no idea what Nashvilles Draft list looked like
2. Lindholm was drafted before Monahan
3. Jones was obviously the best player available on their draft list and they traded him for a quality return.

If you're suggesting that Nashville would/should/could trade Jones for Lindholm, I have some used cars I would love to sell you.

Would they trade Jones for Monahan? Debatable until both are signed to new contracts. That being said, would Monahan been given the opportunity to play in Nashville vs Calgary? Another hypothetical which you failed to consider.

It's self evident that it is easy to cherry pick the draft after the fact and select best player available at a certain position.
