You do know what this means, right?

 

Repeat after me:  "I will not hold the past against the player getting traded to us!"

 

Get ready Chief!  The guy you didn't want is going to come here and win us a Cup!  LOL

Deal done. Monahan to Winnipeg for a 1st and a Conditional Pick.

The Conditional Pick is a 3rd Rounder in 2027.

That's a pretty good deal for both I'd say.  Not really an overpayment....(not sure what the conditional pick is though)

[RichieNextel305]

This deal and the Lindholm deal essentially confirm that if the Rangers are to upgrade, their 1st Rounder this year is almost assuredly going to belong to another team.

 

Good returns for Montreal and Calgary so far.

Drury is smart recognizing this team isn’t a contender

I'm not sure Henrique is worth a 1st on his own, but if we're pulling back another player like Frankie V in addition, I'd say you're most likely right, Richie.

It's definitely worth looking at the next 10 games before making a decision.  If the Rangers have recovered from the mid-season swoon it's probably worth bringing in reinforcements to cover the hole that Chytil left.

 

If they don't recover there's probably nobody short of Mark Messier that the Rangers could bring in to right the ship.

I didn’t see that and if so, he’s not so smart after all

Good. Wanted little to no part of him coming here.

After hearing what guys like Friedman were saying about the tensions between the NYR and MTL front offices, I don’t think Monahan was much of an option. He was always going to cost a little bit of a haul, but given the issues that evidently still exist, we probably would have had to pay a premium for him.

I really wish we could learn the whole story of how all of the firings actually went down

The tensions can always simmer down some for the right deal.  Monahan was not it.

[Ozzy]

I dunno, I'm feeling this is supposed to be "Business, not personal" kinda shit.  I still think if the right deal was there, Drury and Gorton would've done it.

 

I think the whole bad blood thing is bull shit.  If I could get something that made my team better from I guy I didn't care for, I'd do it in a minute.  I'm thinking either Gorton wanted too much, or Drury has a better idea than Monahan.
