Will be interesting to see what Montreal is able to get for him at the deadline if he’s healthy and they are so inclined. That’s definitely the way to turbo charge your rebuild.

Correct.
Calgary needed to find a team with cap space who was willing to take on Monny for a first and who was not on Monny’s no trade list.
That was Montreal. Monny could not be universally shopped around the league.
