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

[Runner77]

Interesting account by Pierre LeBrun, who was first to break the trade (BPM interview).

The Lindholm trade changed everything — 5 teams were in on him.

The 4 that were left out then started to scramble and it’s at that point that serious offers came in for Monahan.

It then came down to two very serious suitors, but neither offered what Hughes was looking for. Headway was made when eventually the Jets upped their offer and showed willingness to include a first round pick.

It appears that they were the only team willing to do so and Hughes considered Monahan’s injury history and the carryover effect of the Lindholm deal, and pulled the trigger.

Read some of the trade comments on their board and they can’t get themselves to admit anything favorable toward Habs fans. Their cop out line: « fans don’t decide trades ».

It’s angering most of them so much that the Jets gave up a 1st rounder that they can’t even appreciate the player coming in to help their team.

I used to cheer for the Jets as an underdog Canadian team but once I saw how petty and vindictive a lot of their fans are, it became a total turnoff. Let them marinate in their own bile.

There was a big Manitoba drug bust last week, they’re all just feeling the withdrawal.

Kakko, Zegras... Come on down!

 

[Habs Icing]

me watching hockey and enjoying it? Are we that jaded with this forever crap team that we lost sight of the whole point of pro hockey?

Sports betting?

 

[Number 57]

So I guess Evans become 2C and RHP 3C until the end of the season? Who else even is able to play center?

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Newhook-Evans-Anderson
Armia-RHP-Gallagher
Pezz-Stephens-Ylonen
Pearson (traded)

 

[Habs Icing]

The first Monahan trade was asset management at its finest. Getting another first for a player we all thought was finished is even better. I just hope these picks turn into something.

All picks turn into something. Either studs or duds.

 

[Habs Icing]

2 years later and there's no way I would trade a 1st or even Hutson for any of the players traded by Hugues.....

I agreed with your post up until that last sentence. Lehkonen.

I tend to ignore/dismiss most main board hate on anything Habs. Two if the larger fanbases, Leafs and Bruins, hate us so they’ll pile on anything Habs related. Then there’s just jealousy of our historic success And how large our following is. Finally, for some franchises like Ottawa, there’s the “what about me” syndrome.

Of course, I am aware pockets of our fanbase is moronic (Slaf, Reinbacker, death threats to other players). While all fanbases do this, the sheer size of ours makes it seem worse. Still, end of the day we’re among the most hated and that’s ok. As long as we make the right decisions, I hope this triggers people.

Really? Then, take this!

Whoever wrote that tweet either knows nothing about hockey or didn't watch Moneyhands play. Empty calorie scorer. What a bozo.

 

[BLONG7]

Main board is still in meltdown!! LOL

The conditions on the 27 pick 3rd rounder................what are the conditions? Jets win the cup and it becomes a ????

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Very happy the Habs cashed out on Monahan. Very happy with the return. Go Habs Go!!

 

[Wats]

I like Condotta, feel like he'll have a decent career as a 4th liner.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Hughes trading Monahan early we get the first pick we wanted. Increase odds of drafting top 5. Removes the risk of Monahan going down to injury. Treats Monahan with respect giving him a shot at a cup.

And yet, we have fans who are mad.

 

[Nedved]

Hell must have frozen over because most people on the main boards are praising the Habs right now and guess what, Jets fans don't like it. It's not like they got fleeced either -- Monahan is a pretty good player but the fact we're getting some positive attention is just too much to handle for these mental midgets.

Their team is 6th in the league but they'd rather focus on their hatred for the bottom feeding squad that's been living in their heads rent-free since 2021 lmao, too funny.

I don't think they'll be upset after he becomes a great player for them. If he gets injured though,

He's running this club like a business and I love it. I haven't been this excited since Gillett was the owner, and I'm curious to see where it goes from here. Hughes has already earned a lot of grace with some of the moves he has made, but time will tell over 5 years if we can draft.

Hughes dropped Stephens and Condotta’s names. I like Condotta’s game, moves well, seems tough and can actually play from the little I’ve seen.

Suzuki‘s line will get coverage-a-la-carte from 12 sets of fresh legs for the rest of the season for sure. Give the kid a superman cape and some xanax.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Jets fans should love this deal they are simply being brainwashed by the maim board experts

Like someone pointed out the pick will only be ~12 spots higher that the 2nd round pick they got in the Dubois trade.

The last 2 guys the Jets took in the 20s were Vesalainen and Heinola give me a break

for sure, this isn't the nfl, where the 1st two rounds are filled with nfl starters. you usually have a top crop of guys and then after 10 or so it's a total roll of the dice.

 

[CHwest]

I never said contend or to make knee jerk moves. Relying fully on drafting is irrational. Every good team has made moves during a rebuild to help it along. You know so our kids can actually have decent players to play with? It actually helps development. Dvorak is the answer though. Players will scoff yes. And they won’t sign when it’s that time. Moral is a thing. This isn’t a contest on what team can get the most draft picks. After all we’ve done so well with drafting forwards right? Hahahah


Funny I mentioned using picks for an asset or 2 and I got castrated on here today lol what a base

You draft first to get your top players, then if you have to fill holes you trade.

 

[Naslundforever]

And yet, we have fans who are mad.

I am both in agreement with the trade and disappointed as f*** Monahan is gone . Very little in life is zero sum.

 

[CHwest]

Meantime, Monty …



It gets better. Even Eddy joined the gang on vacation and he’s ripped AF.

However, nothing beats whatever it is Dvorak thought he was doing:

Oh, there they are.

Hughes also said Newhook will play center.

But I prefer hom on the wing and Condotta and Stephen's at C.

With those bottom two lines we certainly won't have to worry about losing our draft position.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

That's crap.

You take opportunities as they come. There's no order to it.
