Yes, correct. I think Monahan is a one dimensional winger pretending to be a center and has done so for his entire career. I still chortle that people here actively tried to argue he was better than Bo Horvat.

I see the 2 prospects as kind of a 1st and a 3rd, so basically Lindholm got about twice what Monahan returned. Does that seem fair?

That seems like a very big over simplification of the deal. Brzu was a 3rd round pick and dealt from a organizational position of strength and Jurmo was a player the Canucks were likely not signing in the off-season. If the Flames had asked for two 1sts and two thirds the Canucks balk.

Jets took a player who can turn into a pile of dust or back into a pumpkin at any moment and gave up a 1st round pick for the pleasure. It's wild. There were more reliable options that could provide the same amount for a lot less.
