Kind of had the same feeling. I've always thought a trade for Eichel had to involve Monahan for roster/cap purposes. I get that no one would really want to waive to go to the mess of an organization that is Buffalo, but Monahan's next contract and career is basically hanging in the balance.
It doesn't look like he's gonna turn things around here any time soon, so he might as well pack up and head out east where he'll get all the time he wants and rehabilitate his career and reputation. At least he'll be closer to his hometown as well being an Ontarian and what not.
