Player Discussion Sean Monahan

[ZUKI]

Still seems more speculation that either side would be interested. The reason the Devils traded him was because he wants a long term deal which I'm not really interested in Toffoli in more than 2 years. In just over 10 days we will have a much better idea what the plan is for the next year

I would prefer Monahan to sign with us, I really enjoyed his time with us. He was a very good mentor, he's young and i see him as a kind of Perry , who could play for a long time, because he will fit on any line and accept to turn into a role player

It looks that Toffoli is closer to come back as a Hab than Monahan.

Source?

 

[Habs Halifax]

He was very popular and a solid leader. He and his wife loved the city. Two consecutive 30 goal seasons.

If he is open to a 2 or 3 year term, we should consider it for sure. 4+ is not a smart move.

 

[overlords]

Only way I sign Toffoli if it's to trade him to Calgary for another first. Dude's too slow. Let LA bring their boy home.

For slow player he is excellent on the PK and manages to score 30 goals a season. No denying

He definitely has been. But at 32, the dropoff can come whenever. I just don't see why it's worth taking the risk on an older, slower guy who wasn't exactly fantastic in the playoffs. I think Arpon said he was looking for 4 years on his last podcast episode. That's yikes territory for me, and I do really like the guy.

I agree totally on the term. 2 years I could accept as he is still very popular in that locker room

It's his last chance at a big contract, I can't see him (or his agent) settle for anything less than 4 years, with as much money as he can realistically get. Ideally on an already good team.

For leadership?

Yeah, too slow to put 50 goals/season, only able to put 30. Habs don't need those limited scorers .

Talking of being slow, that childish signature about Joshua Roy in all your messages is largely overdue to be erased. Thank you to consider this

It's a reference to a TV show you absolute simpleton.

Do not pass go, do not pro-create, don't even think about voting.

Wut. Why.

Last thing we need imo

 

[Scintillating10]

Is this the Monahan thread?

Monahan might sign in Boston

 

[Habs Halifax]

Monahan might sign in Boston

Bruins or Avs IMO. Both need centers. Hope it's not the Bruins... don't want him in our division.

 

[JianYang]

Monahan might sign in Boston

It seems like any center on the market gets linked to Boston. The bruins should be looking for a top line center though assuming they are not planning to tear it down yet.

Monahan would be a better fit on a team that already has that top line center. I think a place like Colorado would make sense, although I don't know their cap situation.

 

[Habs13]

I don't know why Moneyhands would come back here when we are so far away from contending. We'll see next week I guess.

Habs aren't that far from contending for a playoff spot but probably a few years from having a chance to actually win a Cup. If he wants to win a Cup he would be smart to look elsewhere. No telling how long he can stay healthy.

He is! But HuGo made it clear they want a fast team. It's why he was traded in the first place.

They traded all the vets they could get something good for, then kept some vets as leaders that they couldn't get much for, including slow guys like Savard and Monahan. They. Ould bring back Toffolli as a stop gap vet with leadership on a short term deal. But I think Toffoli wants a long term de as l and or to pkay with a contender. Same we with Monahan.

I like Toffoli, was glad to have him on the team. I'm not against bringing him back, but at this point in time, I really don't think he's a fit. Suzuki and Dach aren't speedsters, neither is Caufield, neither if Slaf. Adding Toffoli to the top 6 would make us pretty slow!

I'd rather Monahan, C depth is much more important than W depth, and he's great on faceoffs. Plus, who knows how healthy Dach is going to be. Or how good/bad Dvorak will be.

I prefer Monahan too. But I'd take Toffoli if he wanted to come here on an inexpensive 2 year deal. But I think he'll go to a contender.
