In a shocking move the Habs trade Monahan and Allen to the Canes for…

Kotkaniemi

I'd actually be ok with this. KK would fill a long-term need at 3C.

Mtl : Monahan (50%)
for
Wpg : Mtl 2nd (around #38 - #45) + 6th rd

or

Mtl : Monahan (50%) + 3rd (70-75)
For
Late first (around #25 - #32)

No from Winnipeg. Monahan isn't better than anything the Jets already have.

I think it's the type of player that Wpg would need in the playoff depth wise for a small price.
Let's say you end up with Lowry as your best center because of injuries.
And i see Monahan taking your 3rd C easy in a full squad.

Nah, extra depth isn't worth giving up a high 2nd for and he just doesn't have a spot on Winnipeg.

Monahan isn't good enough offensively for a top 6 spot on Winnipeg and not good enough defensively for a bottom 6 role.

There's also less than zero chance that Monahan would be 3C on Winnipeg at full strength. Lowry is one of the best shutdown 3C's in the NHL while scoring at the same rate as Monahan at even strength. Monahan isn't close to Lowry.

As all other Jet fans have said, no interest in Monahan at all.

that's actually a fantastic quote.

And describes 90% of politicians lol

 

[Jared Dunn]

I doubt the Canucks are interested. Doesn’t seem like an RT-type.

I actually really disagree with that, he's not a physical player but not afraid to mix it up and good in front of the net. I'd think Vancouver's priority is still D though

RT wants forecheckers who can battle on the boards. I’ve never seen him as a forechecker.

 

[kilowatt]

What'll it take from LA? Kings can shift PLD to wing and play Monahan at C.

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
PLD - Monahan - Fiala
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson

Good top nine.

About LA first
for
Monahan + 3rd (around #72)

He's been most effective in Montreal along the boards and in front of the net imo

I don't think Hughes is any kind of hurry. He has other players on the team that may need to go first such as Allen or Savard. The Habs have plenty of draft selections for this year and next year so they could be more interested in a young player who fits a specific role like they did with Dach and Newhook. They have plenty cap space and assets useful to any playoff team to add to Monahan in order to get that player. I wouldn't be surprised it could be someone already discussed and it's simply a question of when.

 

[AslanRH]

A poster claimed to have a source.

That source is a regular poster trying to will it into existence.
It's a running bit, nothing to take with any merit (currently)

 

[ole ole]

Make a thread about Vancouver and leave Colorado out of it, we ain’t buying. Not for anything more then a 3rd…


Colorado wants a first just to take monohab

Sorry but your not dealing with the Flames management.

Dubois is much better than Monahan. He's not a good 5v5 center.

Haven’t watched the Kings yet this year?

He's probably held a few talks, has a price in mind, and sooner or later more calls will come in, meeting that price and leading to a deal, or otherwise he might end up taking whichever offer is still available after a few other moves take place.

If he will go to Winnipeg? Most don't want to. Toronto could be good fit where Monahan from Brampton. Leafs lack depth and your third line generally key in playoffs.

 

[hockeykicker]

Kent Hughes is in no rush to make a trade. When he has an offer that will help his team he will move. As for Sean Monahan he could be traded but Kent Hughes says it is also possible that he signs an extension before March 8.

[John Mandalorian]

If it’s true that Montreal’s ask is a first, wouldn’t that mean he’s the least likely to be traded first since teams will most likely want to hold out for something better before paying that?

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Can Monorail even skate? And if he can would he skate hard for defensive plays/pressure?

 

[ottawa]

No from Winnipeg. Monahan isn't better than anything the Jets already have.

What? lol...the guy is still a 45+ point player.

Monahan is an upgrade on Kupari, Axel, Barron, Niederreiter, Appleton and Toninato.

There's more availability but the cost is also higher since there's more competition

 

[Snowman]

Monahan's 8 even strength points in over 18 minutes a night while being abysmal defensively, says otherwise.
