Weekes: Flames looking to move monahan

[JPeeper]

how did he fall off a cliff so bad? injuries?

Yes, he was a consistent 60 point guy, 30 goals a year. But he's had like 10 surgeries in the past 3 years, wrists, hernia's, hips, there is a reason why he was always potting goals, the guy took a ton of punishment in and around the net and it totally broke him.

What's worse was he ALWAYS played through injuries for years up until we traded Bennett 2 years ago and then last year too we had to shut him down because of injuries.

Yeah feel bad for the guy since he tried to play through it but took a ton of flack for his decreased production. Surgeries on both hips plus a wrist injury. I have a wonky wrist and definitely can feel it every time I shoot (as a result I only play goalie in my beer league now).

Quote from Monahan from a few years back: “I felt like I was playing with one hand for a while. I lost all my grip strength in my hand. It definitely limits you."

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

The guy has scored 200 goals. It’s not going to be a huge price. Someone will take a chance.

How many goals had Marleau scored when he was dumped?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

His only chance to bounce back is to play on gaudreaus line again.

 

[KevinRedkey]

To Ottawa:
Lucic - 5.250 (1.000 in salary)
2023 2nd

To Calgary:
Scott Sabourin

Ottawa then sends that 2nd along with Zaitsev and other picks to land Chychrun.
It clears 5.250 for Calgary which should be enough to fit Kadri.

IMO Monahan costs Florida's 1st to move him because of his 6.000 salary.

Am I the only one who thinks the way Weekes writes his tweets or announces his rumours is cringy af?

I didn't mind it when he actually mentioned the news in his video, but to tweet it with some random video is dumb af. I thought it was neat when he'd just report the news in the video from random places though.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Is he healthy or LTIR bound?

Neither, ha ha. He apparently had surgery so he should be healthy but who knows if he is 100% or if this is a long term health issue.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Smells like Detroit

 

[ManofSteel55]

Barrie for Monahan W/ retention

How does that benefit anyone?

Now this

That's probably game day stuff or marketing stuff. Nobody does this type of post for player transactions.

 

[Henkka]

They should just find a doctor to put Monahan on LTIR.

Much smarter than waste any assets in a losing trade.

 

[DatDude44]

This screams buffalo for basically free. or even adding an asset like a 2nd or 3rd in the deal to buffalo to take the cap

Monahan + late 1st to Detroit for Pius Suter @50%

 

[Figgy44]

It's Monahan or Lucic.

Based on the smoke surrounding Lucic, there's interest in Lucic. I assume Flames prefer to keep Lucic, but will do so if it's cheaper than Monahan. They're checking the market on Monahan right now.

Kinda sucks. I am absolutely hoping for Monahan to make a come back from injuries as a Flame. I'll do it even if he's traded. Dude was a misguided warrior for us. Did everything asked of him and more. He should not have played through injuries like that though. Possibly career ending/major limitations for him going forward.

Monahan + late 1st to Detroit for Pius Suter @50%

The point is to move $5+ mil in cap space to fit Kadri... this doesn't rally accomplish that and adds to a roster logjam...

Actual good players have been traded for nothing two offseasons in a row. Monahan will cost a good bit to send off to AZ.

 

[Breakers]

His Age?
and hip surgery in May?


the sweetener should be HUGE

 

[MasterMatt25]

MTL? That seems odd

 

[Cornwallace]

Pacioretty went for nothing after going pretty much PPG last season

Monahan is clearly a cap dump

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

There are dominoes coming here. Either Price is officially done or Habs are moving out one of our small village of high priced wingers or Dvorak. No other way cap wise this works.

 

[Captain Mountain]

MTL? That seems odd

Really odd. Montreal doesn't have cap space. Unless Price is going back on LTIR for the year.

[bleuetbio]

its done, Monahan to Mtl

 

[devilsfan35]

Salary cap off?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Sounds like it's done.
