Monahan had 51 points in his last 115 games as a Flame (0.44 PPG)
Garland doesn't have the injury concerns but nobody seems to be lining up to take that contract.
I actually like the player too and would have no issue taking him on, but it doesn't feel like NHL GMs agree.

Garland, unfortunately, suffers from the bias a lot of undersized players do. If he's not producing, he's not seen as contributing. There is some truth to that. You can be feisty and dig for pucks, but, in a full contact game, it's a lot easier to play against undersized players.
