If so then I agree ... full credit. And a huge turning point ... calling the Flames core or major core of Gaudreau and Monahan topping out at that 2018-19 season would have been a brilliant piece of asset management.
I guess their wonky playoff in '19 might have affected their market value too though.

I feel like it is very hard to separate what actually happened versus what the right decision was at the time with imperfect info. It is very easy to look back and say oh #### that was such an obvious trade or position to take. You work with what you know at the moment and adjust as you go. I can get more behind the thought of trading Monahan at the end of the 2019/2020 season to shake things up but the return would have been lower than fans would have liked.
