Any Flames fans taht says no to this should question their fan status.
Who is our top line center then? Where is Forsberg playing? On the third line?
Please understand all fans, I am not complaining about trade value here or the players involved.
Terrible fit for Calgary.
I dislike Monahan for many reasons but all players on the top line in Calgary had career years. Yes we sucked in the playoffs. When it matters.
Who is replacing Monahan at center? Lindholm? Sure Monahan went cold towards the end of the season but have you looked at what Lindholm did the last 20 or 30 games. It is much worse!
Monahan is not a center that drives the play. Yet he is our best option on the team. If we are trading him it is for an upgrade at center, not on the wing.
Calgary does not do this trade because we lose our top line center for a top line left winger that will play on the third line.
Even if Forsberg played on our top line it just means an 8 million dollar player will be playing on the third line with checkers. Waste of money.
I am sure both fan bases are upset about early exits from the playoffs.
