Monahan has plenty of value, but Nieuwy was a really special player, so I don't think that is a particularly good comp.
Funny thing is, that trade was panned by most Flames fan. If I recall correctly, they tried for Harvie and settled for Iginla. Iggy did have a coming out party that helped a ton, but at the time, it was a magic bean and a meh player in Millen.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
