I'm in wait and see mode. I mean no denying he was one of the better players in the league last year and one of the best free agent signings. I think he reverts some but hopefully not too much. Hopefully he gels quickly and helps make for a true top 2nd line in the league.

one what planet did Monahan at any point in his career strike you as a Backlund replacement?
And Backlund has never underperformed for his role. Maybe he had the odd down year (2017-18 comes to mind) but he has always been one of the best players in his role.
I’d argue he underperformed more this season than in 2017-18. That team couldn’t score to save its life, backlund had negative shooting luck, and he still had 45 pts. This was a far better team than that one, yet he only pulled out 39 pts (though to be fair his shot generation was about career average for him).

Lou says they signed him and the deal is done. He sent the proposal to Kadri by mail and told him to forward it to the NHL after he signed it. Should be announcing it in another week or so.

no. Bad ring.
Prince Kadri, mighty is he, Aliya~berta.
Signed for 7, hockey seasons, 7 AAV.
He's faced the grappling hordes,
A hundred bad guys with words,
Who passed by goons to reach Lord (Stanley)? why, Prince Kadri.
