Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4959054, member: 1969"] Just before the beginning of the 2022/2023 season, the Calgary Flames traded a first round pick to Montreal (which looks like it could be an early teens pick in 2025) so Montreal would assume the contract of Sean Monahan. Montreal developed a good relationship with Monahan in 22/23 but he got injured. They agreed to a smallish contract this year, so they could set up a situation where he can up his contract value for next year and also get traded this year to a contender. 17 months after being given a first round draft pick to take Monahan off the Flames hands, they trade him for a first round pick to Winnipeg. Basically get 2 first round picks for taking somebody off the Flames hands. Now that is great asset management, for a team that has often struggled with it. Is Marc Bergevin now advising the Flames?
