I'm looking at what both players have done lately. I see potential for PLD to be a beast of a player. You obviously see things differently. I think that PLD would slot a lot better for the Flames. He could give them a center that would bull/power his way to the net. He is 6'3" 220lbs, and he is rather quick. At least he seemed to be getting a lot more breakaways than Monahan in the last 2 years.
I also didn't say he was a lot better than Monahan in the playoffs, the argument was that his season as a whole was not too bad. You were judging performances on a season basis. In my opinion that season and the 2018-19 season were on par with Monahan's better seasons. They don't quite match up to Monahan's career year, but do you see Monahan hitting those totals again? I think that's the culprit in us having a different opinions on the matter. I don't see Monahan hitting 70pts again, let alone 80. In fact, I think he would be hard pressed to hit 60pts on a line away from Gaudreau. I really hope he proves me wrong on that one.

I mean that is the exact season Monahan hit 82 points
Monahan has better numbers in the most recent season too
PLD has a career high of 62 and has never even been above 50 in any other season. Yet it is a knock on Monahan he might not even hit 60?

179 in 280
Only on CP would fans think one guy with worse numbers is far better and no way we could have the fortune of such an amazing trade. I would trade Monahan in the right deal but that is not it...Flames need more offence not less.
People can disagree but to act like I'm the homer when the stats heavily favor Monahan seems silly to me. Most fan bases over rate but not here.
