Monahan is playing balls to the walls!!!!!!!!
After this season, it's going to be, "Show me the money".

Monahan is a good player. The question is if his body can hold up, and somehow, it has this season.

As an outsider, I had a different perception of Monahan in calgary, but I think he would be a pretty good add to a contending team looking for a versatile top 6 caliber player for their run. No strings attached too as he comes with an expiring contract.

It all comes down to health and if a GM is willing to gamble on it.

To Edmonton, Foegele and McLeod are certainly more valuable. We have team control over Mcleod for a good long while, and Foegele's 24 points at even strength would lead the Habs, and his production in relatively little icetime is extremely valuable for us.

I think you're a bit blinded in your quest to convince other fans Monahan is a hugely desirable asset. He is not. There's a good reason Calgary had to fork over a first to move him. They'll get a positive return for him, which is an achievement in itself, but I think anyone giving up a first for him will have some severe buyers remorse.

Foegle would lead Montreal in even strenght point but he is like 6th in EDM (Monahan is very close to being the leaders in Montreal)... Isn't that a clear sing that when comparing two player on two completely different team, you can look at the numbers but there are circonstances that have to be taken into consideration... Foegele has mostly played with Draisaitl, Mcleod, Kane, Ryan, McDavid while Monahan mostly playing with Gallagher, Pearson, Anderson, Evans, Armia, yes is he producing on the PP but it isn't like Montreal he is riding a hot PP he probably account for close to 50% of the production...

Monahan had 3 subpar/ bad, injury riddle season in calgary they made lot of changes and had to pay to get rid of is contract, that doesn't change the fact the he been playing very well in Montreal and he is currently one of the cheapest and best player available, since a lot of team don't have a lot of cap.

What a time to be a Habs fan. Watch a player score 2 and get an assist in a tight win, playing in all game situations..
log on here and read about how useless he is.

Now everyone stumbles out of the bushes for the pump and dump.

Where was all this enthusiasm after the Senators game when he was emasculated by a 36 year old?

Where are all your posts after a good game? Players will have bad games. You're obviously just a hater and repeat yourself constantly. Maybe get that checked out, might be serious!

Excluding young guys still on ELC, he has more points that every player that earns less than him except one. Brandon Hagel is the only one with more points earning less on a Non ELC contract.

The beauty of Monahan for a team buying at the deadline is that is contract is so low, adding him does not preclude you from adding other pieces. Even without retention by Mtl or a 3rd team, by the deadline a team would only need about 432K of cap space to take on his contract

Fact that the main board will have serious trouble with!! LOL.
Bottom line......if they decide to deal him, he will bring back a very nice return. I will not pretend to be a genie and tell you what he will return, I will leave that for all The Bob Mackenzie's !

Theres one Bob McKenzie. The rest are using teams and being used by teams. You can tell which teams are talking to these guys, right?

Looking at who's listed at center in the NHL stats, many guys are mostly wingers, he's probably closer to 35 instead of 40.

Points wise he's close to the top of the 2nd line center on par with Tavares while playing mostly with Armia/Anderson/Gallagher/Pearson. Put him with with reel talent and he's probably producing around 20-25 best ppg this season for center.

I hope he's back in MTL this summer.

On team with real talent he is not on first PP unit. So it works both ways.

Who knows? Colorado have been using Drouin on their 1st PP this season. Monahan is among the best player in the league on faceoff and really solid in front of the net on PP so maybe he would be use on the 1st PP.

that we would be lucky to get a 3rd for him or that hes useless because most his points come on the PP works both ways buddy but go ahead and keep laughing at every post

idk about a 1st maybe we get lucky ive seen worst players return one but anyone who doesnt think Moneyhands is worth a 2nd + small add is trolling

Well, most teams have 4 forwards on the 1st unit, Monahan has 15 PP points, ranks 35th in the league among forwards. And that's on a pretty terrible PP, let's be honest, Montreal isn't exactly a juggernaut offensively.

How many teams have 4 forwards ahead of Monahan on that list? One. The NY Rangers.

Monahan has more PP points than Tavares and is tied with Matthews and Marner.

Monahan has the same PP points as Nugent-Hopkins and has played exactly 0 minutes with either McDavid or Draisatl.

The idea that Monahan can't help a "good" PP is insane.

The idea that he isn't worth more than a 3rd round pick is even more insane.

Not sure what is allowed on conditions but trading Montreal a conditional 1st seems like a good move given his injury history.

Can the 1st be conditional on #games played? On playoff games?
