Fundamentally it's much bigger than trading Sean Monahan. I believe the core of the the team has stagnated which has led to a lot of the underperformance. In fact, not sure the core was ever all that great outside of a 60 game stretch. I put much of that responsibility on the individual charged with building the team. Others feel differently.
There are thousands of scenarios that could have unfurled. Some want to argue he's incompetent at every turn. Others want to tell you all the possible reasons why he might not have made a deal.
Here we are.

Yes, I agree with this point. I much prefer to stick to actual individual criticisms. And not trading Monahan at the TDL may be one, depending on his health at the time (it seems clear he was playing injured for much of the season).
