Its gotta be gunnarwolfe imo.

I wouldn’t do Cozens for Monahan straight up.

Unless they are taking Okposo

Edit- and even then, no

Suppose it depends which version of Monahan you get if you trade for him. I think more than anything its maddening inconsistency that has led to his name being thrown around in trades.

I think the 7 year age gap + trading a cheap ELC for 6.7 mil is a hard no

How is he inconsistent? Honest question here. He's 25 y/o playing in his 7th season and is consistently a 25-30 goal scorer. This year he's at 22g in 70 games, but has attempted almost 100 less shots than the last couple seasons. His point total is down quite a bit because his assists have been nearly cut in half. Is that on him or Gaudreau, who went from 14.7 sh% last year to just 8.6% this year?
If trading him for Reinhart, wouldn't it be swapping one streaky player for another?

From what I’ve read and seen his two way game is slightly over rated and he’s carried at times by Johnny Hockey

His two way game is more than slightly overrated.

I don't think many are debating trading Reinhart for him.

Many are saying no to the idea of trading Cozens for him.

Hello all - hopefully you are safe.

In the last blog, I saw that someone posted an alternative entertainment source for the TV. What was it? Is the a link to getting this service?

From the Flames blogger here:

Anybody who routinely tuned into Flames games knows Sean Monahan – Gaudreau’s primary center and running mate – was a ghost on many nights, particularly at 5v5. He didn’t produce much, nor threaten much, and Gaudreau had to do all of the heavy lifting; a lot of which went to waste.

Well, they're not throwing in the towel yet. No mention of any effect starting playoffs in August would have on next season's schedule, or if it would still start in October.
Teams who traded for rentals may feel differently, but by time August comes around, it seems it'll feel like a whole new season, anyway. The "flow" of this season is long gone, and any playoff format/result will have a huge asterisk attached...may be better off just starting fresh in October. Idk, I would like to see the season finished, but after a four month hiatus?

Yeah, I think part of that is his role. But he’s always had some weird reputation as a really good two way center

Who's over rating his defensive game? Calgary starts him nearly 60% of the time in the Ozone. Yes he got votes for the Selke like 6 years ago, but even then he was 20th in voting (Bergeron and Toews had over a 1,000 more votes each.)

I'd trade anyone the Flames want for Monahan. He's way better goal scorer than Eichel. Unless they make Dahlin Foppa 2.0 like the laser precise 3ER said, he doesn't move the needle at all. Typical total overvalue Buffalo hype. Crooked Broadary will point out some outlet pass that every NHL Defensemen should be able to make and then goes on to slob his knob about how generational he is along with the putz of a GM that drafted him. Get a grip. My god.

Bring in a GM that has cashews and will trade for Monahan or make Dahlin Foppa 2.0. This effin moron fraidy cat loser of a GM is totally incompetent of doing it. Totes magotes man.

Jesus TM, stop filling the squirt bottle with Vodka.

You guys up there probably already heard about this, "As an incentive to encourage people to contribute to the WNY COVID-19 Community Response Fund, the Bills are offering numerous prizes." Tickets to games, meet and greets, and autographed jerseys among things to be randomly awarded to donors.

Reinhart's on ice impacts are pretty consistent over 82 games. When he's on the ice they don't give up too many shots/quality shots against and they generate more than they give up.

When Monahan's out there calgary generates slightly above league average offensively and gives up a ton. Ordinarily, the combined shooting talent from him and Gaudreau would be enough to overcome that gap and still be a net +

His shooting talent has remained consistent but the on ice impact in terms of shot creation, the quality of them etc. has gotten worse or more sporadic.

He either needs his on ice impact to get back to what it was 2 years ago or become a better shooter.

After contributing to the Bills for last 6 years, how about the Pegulas cover the community with their own donation. And while I applaud anything they have contributed, I believe an "auction" for donations from people who may be out of work and may be waiting on stimulus checks, shows they are a bit out of touch.

And before anyone criticizes me about my post, I will admit, I am not a fan of the way they handle any of their business.

So maybe he's not such a great trade target then...

It's an intriguing option because he could be a good buy low candidate (relative to what he's accomplished in the past) if Calgary just want to move on.

But he's a well known name with high point totals at a premium position. Feel like someone will overpay

The hesitation or no response in trading for him is the scenario where Calgary asks for Cozens in return.

I think they would try. Love Monahan but I want to keep Cozens and this years first.

Risto/montour/mitts/Reinhart are the guys I would look to move in some sort of combo.

We could be 3 centers deep if Cozens hits and 4 if we keep Larsson in a defensive role
