On the player side, hoping he can fully recover and continue to have a productive career.
On the team side, this is a giant lose-lose-lose situation. Monahan playing hurt likely made his condition worse. If he had surgery earlier, he could've potentially come back and been a useful player. His contract would've been off the books, and the Flames could've potentially picked up another contract at the deadline. Whomever replaced Monahan while he was having surgery could've had more development and chemistry while Sean recovered. Lose-lose-lose all around. A lot of that blame has to be on Monahan, for not admitting to his injuries -- the result would've really benefitted the team.
