I think it's emotions flying. We just got burned hard. But I agree with the posters that Monny is not the power #1C to drive this team into a playoff run. I'd be happy to see BT go after a guy like Duchene if we could make the cap space work.
Monny is a good 25+ goal scorer and is well suited as a 2nd line C. Johnny needs matched intensity from his C, and I think we are well aware that Monny doesn't have that. The old mantra that you have to "build a team down the middle" is ringing true after this series, the media pinning it as McKinnon vs Gaudreau was night and day.
I would have to think that with a power C on line 1 and Monny and Backs on lines 2 and 3, that would make up the middle we need.
I dunno. I'm sad.
