Confirmed Trade: [WPG/MTL] Sean Monahan for 2024 1st round pick and conditional 2027 3rd round pick (Mod warning OP)

[Lindberg Cheese]

Great asset mgmt by Habs no matter how you slice it. Jeff, don’t be like that - pick up Drury’s calls

 

[Wayfarer13]

1st + is a ridiculous price. Least the Canadian clubs in a playoff position are going for it I guess.

Hughes is soo good at bending people over. I hope Edmonton never trades with Montreal. We’d end up paying a 1st for Allen.

Kulak for Hutson

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He could have gotten a better player if he added more value hell he could have went after henrique at 50% for the same package + a little extra and he provides more

Henrique doe NOT provide more.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

A 1st with no conditions on games played for Sean Monahan is careless

is there any precedent for conditionals based on # of games played?

 

[vokiel]

Curious what Adam H goes for now...........

A 1st, very likely.

Gaustad got a 1st once for playing on a 4th line. It's not difficult to imagine.

 

[Frederixx]

Well Habs fans... I'm eating hypothetical crow. I hope he's as good as you all hyped him up to be

I think he's even better than what most Habs fans think he is. He was playing with 3rd liners and really looked good IMO. I haven't seen him play a lot, but often he was the best forward on the ice.

I might be in the few, but I think he's a great pickup for the Jets. Will he remain healthy is the real question here and that's probably why he was traded before March.

 

[Colezuki]

I love the Jets PR on this. It starts with saying:

But then goes on to say:

You get what you pay for with PR

 

[Canadienna]

Despite the way they trashed him I think Jets fans will end up happy with Monahan.

 

[Hunter368]

A 1st, very likely.

Likely or very close

Honestly Winnipeg made out like bandits if we take into account the astronomical price Vancouver paid for a rental as well. Monahan has been even more productive than Lindholm and the Peg got him a basically half the cost of Lindholm. Good trade.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

This is the 3rd time that Winnipeg has traded a 1st for a rental. The picks dealt for Stastny and Hayes were used on Sandin and Heinola respectively.

Odds are that this trade won’t mean much 5 years down the line. Winnipeg probably won’t go deep in the playoffs (based on pure probability). Montreal most likely won’t draft anything meaningful with that pick.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Today I learned from habs haters that a late first isn't a first round pick , the more you know

no true scotsman!

 

[bleuetbio]

The value is there! Probably Mtl could have a bit if waiting at the last minute, but they avoid the injury risk factor.

I realy wish that Winnipeg will get the same Monahan that help our cause.

Welldone and thank you Sean!

 

[JustAHabFan]

Habs aren't that great but that is a pretty sweet deal getting a 1st to take Monahan, play him with your top guys, turn around and flip him for a 1st and a 3rd.

Can't do much better than turning a middling forward into two 1sts and a 3rd.

Monahan mostly played with AHL caliber players. He didn't play a lot with top guys like Suzuki, Caufield, Dach.

 

[OKR]

It’s a decent top 10 but then falls off quick from what I’ve seen

Imo this is a interesting opinion since there is practically no top 10 at this point, literally every ranking has insane variability.

 

[LesCanadiens]

What are you on about? I have no problem discussing it and absolutely no problem with Hans fans discussing it. As a Jets fan I think what the Jets gave up is just the normal price to acquire a 2c, especially in a year with very little centres available and a lot of teams looking for one. Its called supply and demand.

Ironically, what made giving up the Jets first a lot more manageable is the fact we have MTL’s 2nd round pick. Thos two picks will most likely only be 10-15 spots apart from each other. Even more ironic is the fact we acquired it in the PLD trade. With Monahan being the Habs 3rd best point producer, losing him will only help that 2nd rd pick become even better for the Jets.

All in all I think its a win win trade. Jets got what they needed, and MTL got what they wanted. Cheers!

You brought it up, man. We get trashed more than any other fanbase no matter how realistic or not realistic our posts are. This is a plain fact. I can't even begin to count how many times this happens on the regular. It's a very biased theme and shouldn't be allowed. If it wasn't, the overall quality here would increase by a lot. As I've said over and over. Monahan is an excellent player and the Jets got full value for their picks. No one was "bent over" in this trade. Monahan is a high quality player in many different ways. And the Jets and their fans will understand that clearly now that they'll ACTUALLY watch him play. Cheers to you too.

I really liked Monahan. Thought he was great. Jets fans will like him. Smart player and deceptively skilled.

 

[wintersej]

Shocked WPG went for that.

Very happy my team stayed away.

 

[Pietrangelo]

I think this trade is literally the middle between what Habs Fans were saying and what everyone else was guessing.

Interesting...

I think most have fans were expecting he’d get a first. So the conditional 3rd is just icing on the cake for them

 

[Leafs87]

They gave Sean a choice of where he wanted to go and this was who he chose lol?

 

[Pietrangelo]

Like bandits

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Henrique doe NOT provide more.

He sure does; Henrique is a better defender and utility player, while being probably 5% less of an offensive force

This isnt 2018 anymore

 

[PriceIsGod]

As a Habs fan who really thought he was worth a 2nd and nothing more I’m stunned. Really hope things work out he’s a hard worker and great for the locker room. Gunna miss him

Actually 2 first and maybe a 3rd for taking on salary for a year!

 

[Commander Clueless]

The ole double dip 1st rounder - one to take him and one to trade him. The value!
