Yeah exactly.
The original play ... trade for Monahan, bounce him back and get a first at last year's deadline completely went up in smoke for the Habs when Monahan broke his foot.
But then they resigned him and he bounced back and now they win the day.
Getting the first made it a smart gamble, they really couldn't lose. But the windfall today is more about him signing back than the trade itself.
