Bad trade is a bad trade, though. Good for Sakic. Again, we should prepare to be massively disappointed expecting anything close to that for Mony.

I suppose one could argue that the Duchene deal having not worked out for the Sens is an argument that you wouldn’t get that package for Monahan. Assuming GMs can see what happened and learn.
