I agreed with your point of not making stuff up about him but you can’t expect people to just let it go and move on when we saw what happened with Monahan and the national response is how great the Habs did and how it was a massive failure for the Flames. Fans have a right to be pissed as they strip this team down yet remain tied to several boat anchors he left when he decided to quit on the team.
I would say it likely dies out in the summer when the Flames really can chart their new course under Conroy in my humble opinion.

Nobody loved the Monahan trade. I understood it, but it felt like a steep price.
But this website has what 80 pages of people patting him on the back for the Tkachuk trade, and most saying you have to just give Huberdeau the same contract and know the last three years might suck.
Now they're all mistakes that most at the time felt were the right move?
Honestly the way Monahan's season in Montreal went after the trade was exactly why Treliving felt the need to play him. He wanted another top six and didn't think Monahan would be durable enough to do the job. In that he was right.
Just seems like a lot of over thinking and hind sight to me.
