Confirmed Trade: [MTL/CGY] Sean Monahan and conditional 2024/25/26 1st round pick for future considerations

[General Disarray]

The 1st a steep price to pay, but Calgary did have an extra 1st from Florida. The Florida pick may end being higher.

 

[flyerslducks]

Getting rid of Monahan is more like 2 steps forward.

he was already gone after this year

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Will be fun to root against florida and calgary all year!!!

 

[Xirik]

I mean, are we saying Habs fans or insiders? Because Petry returned exactly what was expected based on the actual reporting. Montreal wanted to get younger, cheaper and get a replacement D. And that's exactly what they got.

SOME Habs fans on these boards.

just like SOME people didn't think the Habs would get a 1st out of Florida and Colorado last season.

I'm getting tired of people believing just because one or two fans from a certain team said something then that means the entire fan base believes and thinks the exact same thing.

That pick is like 2025.

 

[viper0220]

Kadri for Monahan + 1st, we did not get Kadri for free.

 

[Petes2424]

Habs def would have taken Pageau or Beau for less than a 1st, if they could send armia or allen back

Well sure, but that’s the point. Teams are trying to ditch money, not take any back.

Look at poor Nic Hague right now. Vegas can’t sign him because they’ll be over 10% of the cap. Even though, they’re going to get like $13 million in LTIR. Problem is, that’s not until the day before the season. So he won’t be able to attend training camp, even if he’s agreed to a deal. You can’t PTO an RFA.

So unless Hague took below market money, which he shouldn’t, he misses camp.

That’s just one of many examples. Look at Sandin.

Teams need to get rid of AAV but the market is evil right now. Teams like Anaheim, Detroit and a couple others have real cap space. But there really is only a few. So a 1st for SM, might only be the beginning. The price might still go up.

 

[RationalExpectations]

It should mean Price is not coming back or that the Habs have found a way to move Dvorak and Armia / Byron ?

 

[Gustave]

You might root against Florida a lot and for awhile, if it’s the 2025 Florida 1st

 

[Habs 4 Life]

The Calgary Flames take 1 step forward and than 2 steps back.

Calgary is trying to win, I don't think they care much about a 1st round pick

We on the other hand need to help the process, I don't see how it hurts Calgary, Monahan sucks

 

[Kranix]

Kadri for Monahan + 1st, we did not get Kadri for free.

Who cares? Monahan is so washed dude.

 

[TheBeard]

By trading a 1st round pick in a very deep draft and Monahan has some value.

Find me one source that says it’s a first coming back.

 

[Lunatik]

They just traded a 1st round pick in a deep draft.

Only 1 person is saying there is a first involved. Someone I've never heard of, have no idea if they are even legit as they just do shit for fantasy hockey... and that claim was over 30 minutes ago and none of the real insiders have yet to mention anything about a 1st.

 

[Haatley]

The 1st a steep price to pay, but Calgary did have an extra 1st from Florida. The Florida pick may end being higher.

Thats a 2025 first.

 

[DJJones]

So anything official?

I get that. I just wish people would actually read what the insiders write. Guys like Friedman, Dreger and Seravalli are right far more often than not.

 

[Xirik]

i don't think that will happen, Calgary are still a really good team and they play in a dookie division.

I don't think it will happen either, Its just that Ottawa didn't think they would be in that position either after signing Duchene. Weird things happen in this league.

 

[sansabri]

me after seeing we got paid a 1st to take on Monahan for one year

but the hell is the capspace coming from

 

[HuGort]

I hate the Habs but if it's a first, obvious no brainer. Shit he might even rebound and get you guys a 2nd at the tdl.
Great move for the Habs. is how I feel when you guys make a good move lol. I hold a grudge for the many beatdowns on my nucks in the bubble lol.

Sorry about the Bubble. We just trying to do best we can

[hockeyguy0022]

Monahan has 1 year left on his deal, Low risk, high upside for montreal. The 1st round pick is a no brainer for montreal.

If he can get 30-40 points for a year, paid for easy and no obligation next year.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Damn he's really fallen that much huh?

He's had so many injuries over the past few years, and has played hurt so much, its hard to know what kind of player he is anymore. He was hurt last year, with a hip injury that required surgery, and I think he tried to play though it for awhile until the team shut him down because he was hurting more than helping anyway. Lucic on the other hand, fit into Sutter's system well, and I don't think any Flames fans complained about what he brought to the table, aside from his salary.

 

[Zirakzigil]

So anything official?

Nothing yet. The 1st has only been mentioned by 1 random person.

 

[jellybeans]

Impressed with that, or embarrassed by Treliving??? He did good on the Fla trade, but this is just plain bad.

Why i think he just made his team better then last year.

 

[Bevans]

If he can get 30-40 points for a year, paid for easy and no obligation next year.

If a 1st is going back I'd suggest neither party has much hope in Monahan's health, similar to what's happened with Max Pat since that trade.
