I am hoping that Monahan did what was best for Monahan. He would have been damned if he did, damned if he didn't no matter the choice. No, sorry, nobody can sit here and complain that Monahan should've brought this up earlier before the trade deadline so the Flames could LTIR. Why? Because it is probably the same people that would complain that he is "forcing himself to remain in Calgary this year and next when we need the cap room to re-sign key players".
I just hope Monahan recovers well and returns to the NHL putting 30+ goal seasons again, and if not, that he is at least pain-free and can do whatever he likes - NHL or not. I have zero criticisms for what he brought to the team, and how he simply has never once complained about squat, and just gave it his all in his time on the Flames.
