Monahan I will cheer throughout this season and hope to see him have a career year and win the Masterton, but moving him to get Kadri was a good move. It was a true win-win. As much as I wish him well, I don't feel he's missed on the ice for the Flames.
Gaudreau on the other hand, I would take back in an instant. If the Flames had the current roster + Johnny, they would be a dream team. I don't expect to see another player like Johnny on the team again for many years. Huberdeau is excellent too and the team is better than last year now, but if there's a parallel universe where the Flames somehow kept Johnny, made the Tkachuk trade, and still brought in Kadri, I want to watch their games.
