Many thanks to Larry Brooks for clarifying my blog on exactly why Glen Sathers trade of Al Montoya was an unmitigated disaster. Check out my original Al Montoya Trade a Disaster blog. Here is Larry's article from today's Post (half way down) where he provides more detail on my blog (thanks LB).
Larry is right that Montoya was ruined by mismanagement of the NY Rangers organization. Sather through the years has played hard ball with many young players, many times fighting over thousands of dollars while needlessly spending millions on other players. Montoya was also one of the first big legit prospects under Sather's watch which makes this even more painful. Had Sather dealt Al last year or the year prior the return would have been significant.
