Confirmed with Link: Sean Monahan signs one-year contract extension ($1.985M AAV + $15K bonus for 26 games played)

[No More Subban]

so was he actually healthy in the last 20 or so games last season and they just shut him down to help the tank?

How do you figure this had any relevance to PLD? I don't see the connection, personally.

These days even a solar eclipse is connected to PLD coming to MTL>

 

[Habaneros]

Obviously he wanted to stay with the Habs , which is good .

 

[ROEN]

Arguably the reason the Habs season spiraled a bit in the second half (his absence). In a pivot towards youth, he is a capable leader and brings a level of consistent production when healthy. To resign him the Habs must know something about his ability to recover from his injuries, I feel like he's going to shine. This contract reduces pressure on him and Habs

Don't you believe in astrology?

Broken foot followed by a groin injury during rehab that didn't seems to want to heal.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I like it.

 

[Deebs]

Not really excited or disappointed in this signing. He'll play well for a while until he gets hurt again. Good player, good guy but he's got a lot of miles on him. Decent short term signing

If an eclipse and PLD trade to MTL coincide...I just might.

[Nico Cauzuki]

Nope, PLD fell through.

Dubois is a top 6 forward and Monahan a #3 center so explain how this signing means anything about PLD

I was coming to post the favorite player ever thing, its hillarious and shows how much he fit with the guys in the room.

 

[B1g B1rd]

I'm not entirely sure on that one......Monahan as last year, need to stay healthy and we didn't saw him for the rest of the season, so let's not get ahead of ourselves here

I agree with this... Dvorak isn't out yet... How many games will Monahan play? Wait and see.

But I'm really happy he's back. I love the guy... Good player when healthy and a positive mind in the locker room.

 

[OldCraig71]

The whole team played much better when SM was in the lineup and if he didn't get hurt we wouldn't be drafting 5th overall.

 

[HuGort]

Price must been too high on Dubois

 

[rochab]

Good signing that can be flipped at the trade deadline for a high draft pick.... Only problem is now we're even in a deeper hole of finding places to trade/dump even more players than before. Especially if we want to have any place for younger players to develop...

 

[sampollock]

good deal... great trade piece at the deadline if he stays healthy...
nice work Kent

I don't think this has to do with PLD. Never saw PLD as a center on this team not with Dach and Suzuki.

But it does look like the price is too high anyways.

Dvorak is not trade yet, but Monohan does not sign here to play wing or 4C. A 1 year deal is for him to rebound and make sure he can extend his career. So he's either 2C or 3C. Based on risk, you can rely on him for 2C so a more reasonable guess here is that they told him he'll be 3C.

That make Dvrorak expendable. so you either package him for PLD or a RD somewhere.

makes sense

 

[26Mats]

Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

I'm so happy!!!!!!


I really wanted this signing for at least 3 reasons:
1) I wanted a better offensive center than Dvo behind Suzuki and Dach to play with all our offensive wingers.
2) Still want that 1st at the TDL.
3) Great to have good vet leader at forward for the young guys.

 

[The Great Weal]

Didn’t really think we would resign him given how we already got too many forwards. Wonder how many get traded.

 

[Ezpz]

When he played he was very good for us. He's been a top player in the league. Even if he isn't what he was, his mind is still good for imparting wisdom on our younger players. Even desharnais creditted Gomez with helping him understand the NHL game while Gomez was on a million game goalless streak.

Perfect
