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

[Habs Icing]

Yea. The conditional 3rd is in 2027, so we don't really need to care about that in all honesty.

Why are we all dead by 2027?

 

[sampollock]

dont get it

 

[LaP]

dont get it

They're tanking.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Something tells me we’re either going for Zegras, Kakko, Dubois or Lafreniere with this 1st+.

yikes, hard to come up with a worse assortment of red flag players ...

 

[sampollock]

so many picks so little time

 

[1909]

They're tanking.

That's obvious now. They were trying hard with the use of three goalies so far. Now, they have only one good centerman left.

 

[CauZuki]

Can we sign a UFA vet every summer to a 1 year deal and flip them for a 1st at the TDL?

Let's make this an annual thing.

4 years later Monahan has been traded 4 times and generated 4 1st round picks for the Habs...

The gift that keeps on giving...

 

[Habs Icing]

Our forum may have written over 10,000 posts speculating on the potential return for Monahan.

And we ended up with the most obvious result.

Obvious to whom? Not the Maim Board.

 

[sampollock]

Kent is is not monopoly you don't win with 100 picks like properties

It's 3 drafts away. I don't think we should be concerned about a conditional 3rd that far away.

Hughes all in on the tank. "It's part of the benefit of a young group to put them in a situation to come together and rise above losing an important piece."

But is it too late to get to the bottom 4 or even 5?

Check on your Maim board homies, see how they cope with reality. #BellLetsTalk

No, it's not too late. Habs already have the 5th worse plus-minus record, the second worst PK, and so on.... They won't get any better.

I think we have a chance to get into the bottom 5 still. We're significantly worse with Monahan gone, and Ottawa seems to have turned a corner.

 

[Habsfan18]

Anyone thinking an A-level prospect was coming back was dreaming. A B-level prospect would have been nice, but any time you can add a 1st round pick for a player that also brought along a 1st round pick when you acquired him…that’s fantastic asset management. You have to be happy with this return. Not sure how you can be disappointed?

 

[sheed36]

This is currently the draft picks the Habs have for the next 3 drafts.

They could finish bottom 5. Wild, Ottawa and Columbus would have to pass us though and team like Calgary and Arizona stay in front of us

Man what is Hughes doing? Habs will be handcuffed again. This guy is cleaning up one mess and creating another.

All I know about the main board is everybody bitches about.

Main board is 0-for-2 concerning Habs players. They were convinced Chiarot was never going to get anything more than a 3rd. And now Monahan would never bring in a 1st.

Lo and behold, both players went for a 1st.

 

[Tabarouette]

I'll watch nobodies on the ice but collect all the picks over watching a single minute of Travis Moen on the first line ever again tbh

Damn. At this rate Molson will be broke in no time.

4th last is Columbus. I guess we're only 6 points up on them, but they're also a trainwreck and just lost Laine.

We're 10 points up on Anaheimfor 3rd last, with a game in hand.

Main Board is 0 for a million on Habs' players. Everyone is worth a third at best

i think realistically we are picking 5th or 6th, and with some luck maybe 1st or 2nd. The extra picks we keep getting will be used to attain the yearly "roster" player who fits the core.

I'm just happy Hugo signed the deal now, as we all know Money can be shut down for a season at any point with a fluke injury. Sure we could have gotten more if we waited, but that's a kin to playing wheel of fortune and keep spinning that wheel when you already know the answer.. greed never works.
take the 1st and be done with it.
