Maybe he could have squeezed a little more. But that would mean waiting for the deadline. Money you have in hands is better than more money in the future. The risk was too big to say no to an unconditional 1st round pick.
Confirmed with Link: Monahan traded to Jets for 2024 1st and cond. 3rd in 2027.

Not quite, he has had significant injuries that have slowed him down a lot. Everyone around the league knows that.
Overblown, if KH waited and he did get hurt people would have lost their minds.

I would guess Monahan likely wants more term than we're comfortable with. A GM like Lou will give it to him for the 2-3 years of value Monahan will actually provide. I would be comfortable going up to 4 years but no more. The truth is his legs are already failing him and he's only going to get slower. It's the same issue as Toffoli, who I could honestly see coming back here if his offers aren't great, but I suspect Lou will also overpay.

If Monahan’s injury record was immaterial, Hughes could have extracted way more.
Glad he didn’t overplay his hand.

Keep him for 32 more games, why.
He wasn’t going to resign here. I bet he wants that final big contract which MTL would be stupid to offer.
It would be another Gally situation, and we know how well fans are handling that.

IMO, HuGo key rebuild strategy as already demonstrated is to upgrade assets via Dach / Newhook type deals.
Unfortunately I don’t believe a 25-32OA pick holds much value at all & even if packaged w a young D not named Guhle and maybe Struble won’t get an underachieving young NHL ready top-6 asset

Adding 1sts opens up all kinds of possibilities. Heck, if they don’t win the lottery they can possibly dangle that pick and still have a first round pick left.

There’s an obvious talent drop off at the slot that pick is likely to end up in.
It can be used as currency to move up by combining it with other assets or for an already drafted player — either of those works.

Doubt it. Why would he, probably last chance to get a contract with term and $$. Why sign on with no chance of winning a cup in the next 3/4 years.

He was willing to stay but obviously wanted too much cash or term so that was not an option.

Second most interesting man in the world.
I never had much of presence there. I take a few minutes off to goof off in between grant-writing trances or course preps (I'm a prof now, I have two proposals going out next week, including one massive one to NIH). As a long-time expat, the Habs community was my sanctuary to ward off homesickness, as I morphed from JapanMontrealExpat, to GermanyMontrealExpat, to NCarolinaMtlExpat, to VirginiaMtlExpat.
I do chime in now and then on the main board, but there is an inherent (sometimes vitriolic) bias against fans of certain teams, and that's not my vision of these boards. I don't take them seriously enough to get that worked up, mindful of that Mark Twain expression about arguing with a fool.

Also, we have to keep in mind that we're not privy to all the information about his past injuries and risk of self-injury. But we do know it's been multiple years in a row that Monahan has had reoccurring injury problem - that's why Calgary gave us a 1st to take the last year if his contract.
But yeah, I was hoping for Kuzmenko and a 1st before the Lindholm trade.

Ahaha no, just playing around. I appreciate your thoughtful response, and that Mark Twain reference, spot on

It's kind of a reverse jinx. Ideally, we want the best possible 1st. You probably use the 3rd to move up one spot at that point so who cares.
