Value of: Monahan to BOS

[Ledge And Dairy]

Coleman, Backlund, and Pitlick are 3rd, 5th, and 6th amongst Flames forwards in EV TOI per game.

Good for them! You are arguing over labels here, I am saying Monahan will center Mangiapane and Dube again

Monahan for JDB, 1-1

Not bad but some retain on Monahan

Calgary needs capspace nextyear for Mangiapane/Gaudreau/Tkachuk and assets for Eichel

I guess we can shut this trade proposal down.

The best thing the Flames did for their turnaround was getting Monahan out of their top six. He was an increasingly large drag on Gaudreau over the last couple years as injuries brought him down. The Flames would be lucky to unload his contract.

Monahan for JDB, 1-1

That's not a bad offer. I disagree with OPs premise the Hall is dragging around AHLers, but like the idea of Monahan to strengthen our depth down the middle.

 

[jfhabs]

What happened to Monahan, he seemed like a regular 30g scorer and all of a sudden he drags down Gaudreau, they seperate him and he's totally lost...?

 

[nbwingsfan]

It really isn't, je moght be 5th but I am personally taking Dube over him 9/10 times. Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, and Coleman are all obviously better.

Is Monahan having a slow start? Yes, does thst make him bad at center? No. Monahan is still recovering from his surgery, he wasn't even medically cleared to play in preseason games until the final 2. Often players get medically cleared long before they are at 100%. Look at Zibanejad last year. Monahan played quite well in his most recent game and will likely continue to take strides in tonights game vs Pittsburgh.

Dube with his career high 22pts? DeBrusk has had more goals than that…

Not in the last 2 yrs and Dube is 2 yrs younger

Dube’s elevator is going up, Debrusk is going down. I’d take Dube any day.

 

[Hookslide]

Bruins have no interest in Dube for DeBrusk and Hall does not need Monahan or his contract.......move on people.

He has always been overrated and carried by Gaudreau. He has now regressed from injuries. Should have traded him a few years back when people still thought he didn't suck.

Ah yes DeBrusk is at the age of 24 when most players decline, forgot

You may need to remind him also

You may need to remind him also

Also not sure what “two years you’re talking about.

Two seasons ago he had 19G/35pts in only 65 games… once again way better than anything Dube has done

Hip surgery, hes still recovering

 

[Double Dion]

Unless we are getting a top 6 RHS RW or a better center back, I don't see the logic of trading Monahan right now. He's not really worth anything based on his current level of play, so his acquisition would be based on a possible bounce back. Teams don't give up good roster players for that. The typical trade of this type is usually at most a 2nd round pick and a B level prospect. Based on Monahan's salary my guess is it would be less than that unless you're taking bad cap back.

We're better off holding on to him for now and revisiting in the offseason unless we have need for cap for another move.

Does this absolute manrocket look lost to you?

Boston would be a good spot for him. They don't need more veteran gritty types. They need a shooter. A goalscorer that can actually capitalize on a lot of offensive zone time. Bruins are 18th in GF/G. Sean "Money" Monahan happens to be 18th in goals since entering the league. Match made in heaven.

 

[Nanuuk]

Montreal needs a centre. I'm not so sure Boston does, but Bergeron will be 37 and a UFA after this year. Acquiring a shooter that isn't as bad defensively as some people think might be a plan for Boston.

Doesn't look like Boston needs scoring right now though.


Unfortunately, the ask in return for Calgary would have to be a RW something that doesn't look like an organizational strength for them.

If Monahan is traded it will be to fill a need at RW.

 

[The National]

AHLrs is a bit strong, Coyle and Smith are 3rd liners.

I personally don’t love the player, but if it’s a JDB for Monahan swap I’d do it in a second.

Resigning Debrusk at his 4.85m QO makes no sense for the Bruins with Hall and Marchand ahead of him and being much weaker in other spots. Specifically center and LD.

How about Karson Kuhlman?

his qualifying offer is $4.4. Not that that makes a huge difference.
