It’s funny, but I pitched a Monahan for Schmaltz+ deal on this forum two off-seasons ago, and people shat all over it.

Last year a lot of people here wrote Tarasenko off in trade proposals. Figured he was done.
Now I don’t see a lot of reason for Arizona to make a Monahan trade. I don’t see where he fits in their team building.
