How different, value wise are Monahan and Laine?
Both are flawed players. Not particularly fleet of foot. Yes Laine is a pure goal scorer with a wicked shot, but he's only broken 40 goals once. Monahan has a history of consistent goal scoring and plays a tougher position. Laine has maturity issues, Monahan is a coachable guy with injury issues.
It's never fair to compare trades and player values. We're all just so ready to dump on our home players for grandiose reasons. I kinda agree, I don't see going deep into the playoffs with Monahan as your number 1 centre. But he is still a really good hockey player that plenty of teams would love to have.
