Giving up a 1st to get rid of Mony was awful, but I highly doubt he would have re-signed with us as a UFA last year after the last few years he had here, so I don't think it's fair to say we lost out on getting a 1st.
Great asset management by Montreal though. They could use some good luck after starting a rebuild with Slafkovsky and Reinbacher.
Also I like that this seems like a seller's market. Looking forward to what we can get for our other UFAs, and maybe some other players too.
