Would you guys be in on Zegras?
And is any young asset(s) off limits with a Calgary trade?
Monahan is having the best counting stat season since he was 24-25 yrs old, Lindholm having the worst since his trade to Calgary. Monahan traditionally mediocre or worse nerdies in neutral or soft usage, Lindholm traditionally fantastic nerdies in heavy lifting usage.
Even the counting stat production, Lindholm has 20 points at even strength, to Monahan's 16 .
If you trade for Monahan you're bringing in a mediocre #2-3C who needs sheltering while not being very good offensively and has pretty turrible durability. If you bring in Lindholm, you're bringing in a guy who has been a solid 2 way #2C this season but has been a good #1C with strong 2 way play in heavy usage for the last ~5 years but is in the middle of a down year by his standard. There's legitimate promise of a bounce back to #1C level play with him.
They're just not the same despite #Habsfans attempts to make it look similar.
Just looking around the league at Dom's model to see potential under the radar additions, and damn Florida is good. Verheghe, Bennett, Rodriguez, Forsling, Mountour, Mikkola. They are just finding cheap studs all over the place.
Wait for the playoffsI haven't seen one of those in a long time.
Any time the Leafs are in that situation I fully expect to see one.
I would’ve come cheap too.We needed to hire the son of the Pizza Pizza owner.
