Speculation: Monahan forward most likely dealt first

[EveryDay]

we are not getting an A level prospect for Monahan even if we add those players rarely move and when they do its for something alot better

Agreed, it's not happening. A late 1st is the maximum we should be expecting.

 

[bleuetbio]

I wouldn't even give a second look to an offer that doesn't include a 1st round pick

1st round pick would be the bare minimum, and than we could talk about retention on Monahan, etc, adds to be made on one side or the other, players added, etc

But no 1st round, no trade

Agreed, it's not happening. A late 1st is the maximum we should be expecting.

I think we could have a bit more than 1st rd pick, but at the minute a 1st is on the table, we should pull the trigger. There's always a risk of injury.

Also, we'll not make the playoffs and Monahan has been responsable of some points on the rankings lately, sooner is gone, better the pick will be at the draft. It could be worth more than a 2nd pick.

We'll take a 2nd but your gonna need to attach something that makes Hughes say ok. The 57th pick OA alone doesn't cut it.

That's fine I hope someone else gives Montreal what they want for him. I would pass for that price.

 

[HuGort]

I wouldn't count on Florida being that low.

Going to be lot of changes there next season.

Won’t brag about what we are going to get, knowing Hughes he will put Monahan’s interests above the teams return - right or wrong - but he wants the culture of a place people want to play. I’m expecting a decent return but also the best place Monahan can play to his strengths to either earn his next big contract elsewhere or come back to Montreal

Ya like the 57th pick is something special. I would pass on what your offering.

Random thought concerning Monahan: I wouldn't be surprised if he got dealt for a prospect drafted in 2022, the Habs current management's first draft... so they will have done some homework on players, and are likely well-versed on many who went 20-40 since they had several picks to make, and I've found teams often fall back on draft day scouting when trading for younger guys.

The Habs scouts have just as much info before 2022. The world doesn’t begin and end with the Habs franchise.

I hope the Habs get that and more from the Avs.

Think the trade comes together quickly

 

[Vitto79]

Sure DD . Lebrun his buds making him do this lol

 

[Seachd]

“At least two teams”.

That’s huge.

 

[Hunter368]

Two teams only? WTF

Wow, that seems very low to me, considering he can play wing or center. Concerning a bit only two teams, if true. Crazy

If one of those teams drops off, the return on Monahan will be lower then expected by some and might lead to Habs signing him for 1-2 more years and try again trading him next year.

 

[Seachd]

LeBrun says to WPG.

You've never heard of him, so obviously never seen him play. I've followed him closely since he was one of the youngest players selected in his draft.

Scouting via box scores and counting stats is not the full story with this player.

idc I'd still rather the 1st. like we really need more small wingers

 

[Hunter368]

Could be interesting, depending on the cost. As I stated multi times, other then his points, his cap hit is very good which would allow other moves to be done.

 

[hoc123]

I'll guess he gets a 1'st, but not much else added to it. Mainly cause I think Hughes would wait if he didn't get at least a 1st.

Actually the Jets have Montreal's 2'nd right? I could see that plus a small add as well.

Oh god he's going to get hurt on Tuesday

 

[GKJ]

He’ll have to settle for second I guess.

 

[Bluenotes27]

Oh thank god he’s traded , it’s finally over

 

[Nicko999]

Shit... their goes my productivity today.

 

[MardyBum]

He’ll have to settle for second I guess.

Would not be surprised at conditional 1st for games played. Bones loves faceoffs.

Baaarf.

As an Avs fan, I cannot love this enough!!!!
