I'm really glad the first line has been the best line in the league this season, but I definitely didn't see that coming.

Well, Eichel would be an upgrade on Monahan even now, but a $9M upgrade for 3C (or even 2C because of how the lines would shake out) isn’t really what the doctor ordered. And next year’s cap issues would be even worse.
