No, I won’t excuse impatience. Monahan had one year left and we sacrificed a first round pick to move him. For a team with a poor prospect system, that’s unforgivable. Going out and signing an older, more expensive player coming off a once in a lifetime playoff run is the s%^*-cherry on top.

Fair enough. I'm not saying the transaction was the appropriate strategy. I'm just saying moving on from Monahan wasn't necessarily the wrong call.
