For all those complaining, do you really think there were better deals that were turned down???? What else did you guys expect to happen? And even if you have some hypothetical move of Lucic instead of Monahan, it could be argued Lucic brings more this season. So you are giving up the current for a slightly less painful return in 2-4 years???? And said return won't be in the NHL for like 5-7 years????

I'm not a complainer, but it's fair to question this combo of deals, and whether moving Monny was necessary immediately or at all.
I'm not worried about the back half of Kadri's deal...I'm more worried about the front. How many rough/tough players remain really effective (and healthy) into their mid 30s?
Ultimately I'm okay with it as I think this team needs time to figure itself out from day 1 of training camp, and this is the very best year of this window for many reasons, and I don't see many viable alternatives at this point.
