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

[Tabarouette]

Great deal, I was 1000% convinced he was getting injured before we could trade him so i'm really glad he didn't wait for the deadline

 

[SergeConstantin74]

We've been in a rebuild forever. People are always complaining about the last regime but as the time passes management gets worst and worst. Fans were also complaining about the regime before Bergevin when he was hired. I'm not saying he was good but Hughes hasn't proven he is any better.

We are not closer to having a championship caliber team. We aren't even close to have an impact player on this team.

 

[Benstheman]

Jets 1st pick won’t be 32nd. Mark my words.

 

[GrandBison]

Hughes got what? 4 1st picks more than Bergevin in his tenure?

 

[Whitesnake]

Funny thing would be for Money to come back.....and leave for another 1st next year...

 

[LaP]

Anyone who expected us to get a top prospect for Monahan was delusional. Anyone who expected us to not get a 1st for Monahan doesn't follow the NHL and is probably a very casual fan. I'm happy the 1st is not condition. I would have liked the condition on the 3rd to be less brutal. Overall getting two first round picks and a bunch of conditional 3rd and 4th round picks for taking Monahan's contract is an awesome return.

 

[Miller Time]

Overall this just further highlights how great our new management team is at managing assets (including cap space).

2x 1st rd picks by leveraging cap space at a time that the roster is saddled with 30+M$ in terrible contracts signed by BargainBin is nothing short of genius asset management.

For the trade itself... i'm frankly a bit disappointed that the conditional pick isn't a bit more in our favour. Monahan greatly improves the odds of the Jets getting out of their division and reaching the WCF (both by his addition, and by keeping him away from the Stars, Blues and Avs - Avs in particular who arguably could have benefited even more from his fit).

If they do, that 1st is really low and low bc of the impact Monahan provides. Wish KH could have made the 3rd tied to WCF alone rather than cup win... that's where the injury history probably factored in heavily (both in what the Jets were willing to risk, and how much longer KH was willing to wait to see the price increase).

All in all... pretty damn good GM we have. Feels so odd after over a decade of ineptness in that chair.

Now will be interesting to see how they address the roster heading into the final few months... i sincerely doubt he's done and fully expect to see us add a vet or two from a team looking to shed cap so that Suzuki & co. have a bit of support

Monahan’s injury history played big in both the return and timing of this trade.

I was hoping to see the conditional pick be performance/ games played dependent but that’s just a minor quibble.

What is likely is that none of the other suitors must have offered a first rounder, despite having been left out of the Lindholm sweepstakes.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So for Monahan, Habs ended up with two 1st round picks and a conditional 3rd.

Not bad for a guy who only played 74 games for your team.

 

[Habby4Life]

It’s a safe bet Hughes isn’t done. I think Savard will be gone as well.

I have no problem with Hughes aqcuring picks and flipping them for young talent.

So far he has done a A+ job

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Can they cancel the trade if he gets hurt on the way to the airport?

 

[River Meadow]

Can they cancel the trade if he gets hurt on the way to the airport?

Nope

 

[Riddick412]

we can use it in a trade.

Hopefully the trade plays more than 23 games

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Jets 1st pick won’t be 32nd. Mark my words.

Who cares if that pick is 25 or 32? We're probably drafting an AHLer or acquiring a bust with that pick anyway.

There's other conditional picks. All the conditions are unlikely but there is other conditional 3rd and 4th associated with the trade with Calgary for taking on Monahan's contract.

 

[River Meadow]

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

He could have got injured getting out of bed or something tho

 

[26Mats]

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.

He can play wing when Beck emerges

we've been rebuilding for two years lol

And a conditional 2nd or 4th still pending

 

[Miller Time]

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

Dach.
Newhook.

 

[PavelBrendl]

A+

Turning Sean Monahan into 2 1st round picks is hilarious. The guy’s done more for the Habs than some players who played 10 seasons here. Also gonna be in Winnipeg at the end of March. Will have to go pay my respects to the money man.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Can't be both. If on LTIR, he won't be blocking Beck.

Let's see how he finishes the season and if he is available July 1st. If so, at what AAV and term.

MSL is like, who scores for us now??
