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

[SergeConstantin74]

Bergevin didn’t take us to a SCF, Carey Price and Covid did.

Hughes will probably be the next Bergevin in 10 years when this rebuild still fails to give results.

At least he's good at asset management I guess. He'd be a terrific NHL24 player.

 

[sampollock]

bitter sure...
no scoring up front.
no scoring high end player in laval
but so many picks
so you are telling me a GM will take the low end picks Kent has other that our #1 this year, to trade us a young scoring stud. ya right

 

[Nashy]

You think Bergevin planned any of it ??

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day.....

 

[Riddick412]

Aw.
I'm going to miss money hands. He was one of my favs.

Late first rounder is meh to me. Don't see pick being more impactful than MH, but I know nothing.

 

[FrankMTL]

So now we hope Winnipeg sucks for the rest of the season

 

[The Real Timo]

Could they just NOT played Monahan before the TDL. Give him a vacation or something and prohibit from skiing.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Feels like HuGo had their price in mind from the get-go and once it was met they pulled the trigger right away. It's probably smart to do it as early as possible too, with how injury prone Monahan is.

 

[Habs Icing]

?

Where do you think Dach and Newhook comes from ?

Canada?

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Are the asset management fans expecting us to start winning at some point?

All we've been reading about Hughes is his asset management skills but on the ice the product is getting worst and worst.

We are in a rebuild, Hughes is trading veterans who won't be here long term for assets that can help in the future. He doesn't, nor should he, give a shit about winning at this point.

He has traded Monahan, Toffoli, Chiarot, Edmundson, Lehkonen, Kulak, etc. which to no ones surprise has made us a worse team.

 

[le_sean]

What if the Jets sink fast in the playoffs and MoneyHands re-signs with us in the offseason?

I don’t even want him back. He’s a walking long term injury waiting to happen and he’d be blocking a guy like Beck.

 

[417]

A young player another team wanted to get rid of. Super exciting.

Yeah, something like that.

Only a Habs fan could complain about acquiring 2 1st round picks and a conditional pick for a player that was tossed into a trade.

 

[The Great Weal]

It’s an issue considering we want him to get used to being a winger moving forward. Speed down the wing and cut inside rather than not knowing how to patrol the centre of the ice.

Again, it’s for a brief period of time. He’s also going to be getting dicked with shit linemates so he’s not going to be able to do anything anyways.

We have two regular centers out for the year, sometimes you have to accommodate.

 

[teamfirst]

LOL at reading posters already using Newhook and Dach as amazing accomplishment by this new management core.

Newhook played only 23 games with us so far and as for Dach he could very well be a amasing acquisition if he could manage to stay healthy ......but so far he as not

 

[NobleSix]

We thank you for your service

 

[sampollock]

the presser will be interesting

 

[Habby4Life]

How can anyone complain about pulling two 1st rd picks out of thin air. Only hab fans!!

 

[Wats]

A young player another team wanted to get rid of. Super exciting.

What would you expect to happen with what was left behind by last regime? It's not like regular season play is much worse. Outside 16/17 and 18/19, this organization was playing .500 hockey while trying to win now. Hughes trying to add picks and young players by trading impending UFAs instead of letting them go for nothing see Danault, Radulov, etc. Hopefully it works.

we can use it in a trade.

 

[FrankMTL]

Two First Round Picks for Monahan?

 

[overlords]

The rivet trade tree is glorious but try explaining it to a casual or non-hockey fan. The monahan 'trade tree' will be talked about for decades because it's immediately recognizable as hilarious to people who have never even watched an NHL game.

 

[HabsForHire]

At least Bergevin got us to a SC final and some playoffs action. Hughes desn't even plan to make the playoffs.

dude, you need to smoke a J and go for a walk to chill out a bit

 

[Treal]

Good deal in the end.. Habs got their second 1st for Monahan.

Monahan was missing a lot of practices recently, better to trade him now than risk losing him to injury.

 

[Tabarouette]

Hughes will probably be the next Bergevin in 10 years when this rebuild still fails to give results.

At least he's good at asset management I guess. He'd be a terrific NHL24 player.

Who said it was a guarantee to succeed? At least we're trying something, we'll see where it leads

you can rewatch the past 30 years of constant failure on demand if you're still interested in the other method

“I can’t be happy unless I'm mad”

 

[The Real Timo]

the presser will be interesting

I sincerely doubt it. A bunch of sound bites about the future and the process.
