There’s a lot of 20/20 hindsight going on with Monahan.
When he was dealt, Monahan was coming off seasons of 10 and 8 goals. He could barely hold onto a 4th line spot on the roster, and it looked like he might out of the league soon. He was a cap dump, pure and simple. No other team in the league was willing to give up assets for him or take on his contract for less than a 1st round pick. And it wasn’t just a case of the Flames mis-managing him - Monahan scored 6 goals his first season with the Habs.
His turnaround is a great story. It’s also a story nobody in the league saw coming.
