Confirmed with Link: Monahan traded to Jets for 2024 1st and cond. 3rd in 2027.

[Habs]

He's been good this year.

He will not be a difference maker for this team in the future in my opinion. I keep hoping for another top asset to come back like the Dach deal, maybe it could happen in the summer. I'm not a Newhook fan so that trade did nothing for me at all.

 

[Whitesnake]

2 1st for Monahan is great. No matter how you see it.

What's more important is that we didn't wait too much before he injures himself and you get nothing. And we didn't retain salary.

Just positive. Not as explosive as some would have wanted but just fine asset management.

 

[Gustave]

I’m glad he was traded now instead of at the deadline. It will help the tank.

Ya the key here is to absolutely let the floor cave in and crater into the top 5 again. Get the % to maybe nab 1st overall. Get luck on our side.

 

[Tyson]

Good trade. This is a pre-draft move. Another 21-22 year old coming via a 1st rounder trade this summer.

No complaint. Plus, now they will start sucking even more. I don’t mind this. Two more seasons of bottom 5-10 to go!

A very deep draft in 2024

 

[Team_Spirit]

Just flip Mesar draft order with Beck or Hutson and get over it already jfc

You guys are giving me a headache pass the tylenol

 

[NobleSix]

What trenches did you battle in?

Passchendaele, Vimmy Ridge, the Mainboards

 

[Runner77]

Smart to trade him while he is healthy. I was hoping for a bit more but another 1st that can be used as a trade chip at the draft

Habs didn’t have the luxury of waiting it out til the deadline. It’s smart asset management.

 

[The Real Timo]

You're not happy with Dach, or Newhook, or both?

I don't think Newhook is anything special... and Dach I've seen more on IR than on the ice so too... jury's out. If he is going to get us another injury prone reclamation project I am less than ecstatic about it, tbh.

 

[Habs]

You're not happy with Dach, or Newhook, or both?

Who are these players you speak of??

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

My favorite part of this is the usual suspects are mad about this trade.

We got 2 x 1st out of thin air.. and it's not good enough.

You're not getting Brad Lambert for an expiring Sean Monahan. Use your f***ing heads.

Same people also are probably the ones bitching that we aren't "tanking properly", yet we are going to finish the year with Jake Evans, Mitchell Stephens and Lucas Condotta filling out our centres.

 

[sampollock]

Was funny to read that he could have gotten us a 1st and solid prospect...lol

I was hoping our 2nd back and a prospect

 

[Habs Icing]

This move will help us tank and opens the door with a follow up trade where they can retain.

More MSL facepalms, incoming.

Are you sure those faces aren't of MSL after hearing about the Monahan trade?

 

[L4br3cqu3]

I’m glad he was traded now instead of at the deadline. It will help the tank.

Damn absolutely, that C line is something else...

Suzuki... Evans, Stephens, Condotta, Maillet, Andersson... ?

 

[sukimono]

Heck yeah!

 

[GrandBison]

So now on Main board that pick is an automatic 28-32? Has the rules changed or Monahan is expected to lead them to semi-finals?

 

[Saundies]

Kent Hughes pretty much traded absolutely nothing for Sean Monahan and 2 1st round picks.

NO ONE, not even the biggest hater, can be mad about that.

 

[sampollock]

Damn absolutely, that C line is something else...

Suzuki... Evans, Stephens, Condotta, Maillet, Andersson... ?

that is the funny part... we get a #1 but have no talent at centre and half of a #1 line

 

[le_sean]

Ugh I hope this doesn’t mean Newhook at centre. Really didn’t like him there.

 

[JT3]

Expected a bit more. 1.9 millions for a 2nd line center is incredible currency to have. Maybe the market wasn't there, maybe Hughes jumped the gun, who knows. Well see with the next C moved how we position ourselves value wise, right now, it seems low compared to Lindholm.

Adam Henrique should be moved next, probably acquired by the Avs or Leafs. His salary is incredibly high, so the situation is a lot different.

It probably comes down to Monahan's rep for being injury prone, don't think many teams are going to want to trade a top prospect for a guy who could fall apart before they even get to the playoffs. I think Kent's price was met and he determined it wasn't worth the risk of holding him longer and having him get injured.

Personally I'm fine with it, 2 1sts and a 3rd for taking on Monahan is superb asset management.

 

[Jee]

Great return, Allen next

 

[Saundies]

So now on Main board that pick is an automatic 28-32? Has the rules changed or Monahan is expected to lead them to semi-finals?

Monahan is so good that any team that gets him will automatically be picking 28-32, yet somehow isn't worth a 1st round pick. Makes a lot of sense

 

[Tyson]

Call up Mysak!

If Dach can stay healthy and Newhook is nothing (I mean already at a young age he's a 20 goal 46 point guy for us), but if Newhook is nothing, I'll be really happy we got Dach for Chiarot and Romanov.

 

[The Real Timo]

Ugh I hope this doesn’t mean Newhook at centre. Really didn’t like him there.

I agree. newhook at center is another drouin scenario all over again. he is NOT a center.
