Even if he's being cautious with his health so as to give his back time to recover for the playoffs - that's smart for him, that's smart for the team.
If Monahan/Tanev or anyone has a nagging issue at the trade deadline, I'd expect/hope the Flames to take a similar approach.
Give your team the best chance to ice the best team for a playoff run, and give yourself (the player) the best chance to be healthy playoff run.
It's not cheating, and is clearly an established norm at this stage.
Well all collectively questioned/crapped on the team when we heard about how hard Monahan/Tanev pushed through injuries...well, this is part of not doing that.
