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

[Haatley]

32nd first round is pretty much a second...

And then when we hear about teams with the 33rd pick they say "it's basically a first"

Where is that Whiskey guy who kept saying the Habs would be lucky to get a 3rd for Monahan?

Exactly...

 

[Frederixx]

Basically a free 1st but even more importantly, it helps the tank. What's not to like?

He won't say it publicly, but I'm pretty sure it was well calculated. First he didn't want to risk an injury and second, the race to the bottom is very close. Only a few pts difference between the 6th and 12th team or so...

 

[JAK]

The Canucks trade forced everyone else to push and overbid others for Monahan, because they were the top two centres available. The timing of the trade is the proof of that.

Biggest loser this trade deadline is going to be the TV talking heads having less to talk about.

I'd agree. Monahan does not move the needle in any meaningful way.

 

[Gurilla]

Honestly might work out well, we’ll see

 

[Mr Positive]

Montreal wins this trade.

Monahan is a useful forward for the Jets, but the 1st rounder is their big trade chip. Its a lot of risk.

A died in the wool Monahan hater if there ever was one. It was an obsession with him. If he posts in here it will be to chide Winnipeg for severely overpaying.

 

[BananaSquad]

It’s gonna be a late 1st. Who cares lol. Monahan fits Winnipeg well.

 

[gach]

Exactly...

Well he was right Habs got a first and was lucky to get a 3rd also lol

 

[Hunter368]

For what it's worth, Monahan was healthy through most of his career, minus a couple of seasons. He's looked strong this entire season; no reason he can't keep it up for the remainder and through the playoffs.

He's not Lindholm, but he's a very good leader, which is especially valuable in the playoffs. He might surprise you.

I’m hoping he does surprise us and hope he stays healthy. Now want to see what else Chevy adds to help the team bc the West is a bloodbath of good teams.

That dude just dislikes anything Habs related.

 

[Gm0ney]

If everything pans out just right, the Jets 2024 1st may be a later pick than the Habs 2024 2nd...

Anyway, Monahan's at least still got some offensive touch, can win faceoffs, and his cap hit is small - meaning the Jets will have room to bring in another player or two before the deadline.

 

[HuGo Sham]

What a turnaround for the Habs. They pretty much get 2 firsts for nothing.

this- people need to be reminded, what a remarkable piece of asset management / cap weaponization this was from hughes. two first rounders while giving up nothing

 

[DrChar]

Win win. I don’t think the value is way off and it’ll be interesting to see how mtl fumbles these coveted and celebrated picks

 

[HuGo Sham]

I'd agree. Monahan does not move the needle in any meaningful way.

but he does move the needle. 50 pt, two way C who are fantastic in the dot and on special teams are essential

 

[Dr Amazing]

Its a win win trade Monahan put up 35 points on a bad Montreal team it should help the Jets besides the Jets add to the roster without trading players Montreal gets a late first.

 

[BLONG7]

The hate is real....
It just goes beyond being stupid......

 

[PensandCaps]

Wow, the Jets are really stupid.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Main boards completely wrong about a player's trade value? Say it isn't so.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

The probability that Monahan does more for Winnipeg than whatever player selected with that 1st does in the NHL is high.

The probability Money dislocates his hips after stepping off the plane into the Winnipeg tundra high.

Winnipeg fans were claiming Names is better as a 2C than Money. Now a change if heart! lol

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Break the bank for Henrique time

First rounders only matter you are able to draft correctly. And I'm not yet convinced the Hughes/Gorton regime can do that.

Jets are a high IQ team and Moneyhands should fit in nicely. I feel Perfetti and Ehlers would make perfect linemates. Perfetti thinks the game at a high level and Ehlers can carry the puck and gain zone entries. Namestnikov was solid in that role but he lacks finish. Monahan will finally give that line a shooting option in the middle of the ice, closer to what the Jets already have in Scheifele.
