Case in point. Monahan finished with the same number of points as Bennett in the playoffs, one has his one circle-jerk the other "isn't a #1C" and others want to trade him for a second pairing defenseman. Gaudreau had 1 fewer point than Monahan and Bennett and he's a playoff failure and "can't get it done"

Fair, do you apply that logic when fans of other teams want their downward/high salary players to maintain their value?
I see it all the time, if an opposing player has a down season, it’s a pure cap dump and Cp thinks the Flames should be paid to take the player.
Just want to make sure you stay intellectually honest.
I don’t think JG is a cap dump but I do think if they trade him it will be for much less than CP anticipates. I’m prepared to be wrong.
