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

It would be murder to have enough crow for everyone.

I see what you did there

You can't overpay with magic beans.

You absolutely can overpay with draft picks.

With the high second in the pld trade the jets move back 10-15 sports and get their 2nd line center. Montreal on the other hand extends the rebuild past a decade.

Masterful job my Hughes taking on and then pumping and dumping Monahan into two 1st round picks.

Good chance the Habs re-sign him in the offseason and do it again a 3rd time!!

HFBoards is in awe of Hughes!

Bahahahahahaha

We've been rebuilding for 2 years

Is this the first time a GM traded a 1st to get rid of a player and then said player returns a 1st in a trade ?

Dunno, but it can happen if the player was traded out of an ugly contract(say 8mil AAV) and then signs a league min contract and has a surprisingly strong season, or something.

Somewhat similar to what happened with Monahan.

I expect @WhiskeyYerTheDevils will agree that the Habs Fans nailed it! Hey buddy?

Great trade for Habs fans.

MTL did well on Monahan, but it wasn't free. They paid alot of cash and gave alot of cap space for those picks. This is how the game is played.

What an excellent analysis.

Except jets had two picks and now only have one. Your analysis would be right if Montreal had given up a 2nd in that trade. The net result here is minus 1 pick.

Also I am unsure how giving Monahan away is going to extend a rebuild over a 10 years period?

It seems like you are coping and doing a bad job of it.

For those that don't follow the sport . The Habs have been in a start of a rebuild since the hiring of Hughes and Gorton.

Chevy wins again. Montreal pick will probably never play a game in the NHL if history repeats itself. jets solidify an already deep team.

Move back? They always had that 2nd round pick

Can't see that happening now.
First off it was said Monahan was going to have a say in where he gets traded to. Who the hell would want to go to Peg?
Next it was said he wanted to go to a contender not a pretender.
So no i can't see Monahan coming back as we screwed him in this trade.

The only way i see this happening is if Money gets injured before the playoffs and misses the post-season. In that scenario he is back to square 1.

since I’m lazy I will only say, go to YouTube and watch just half of the short games from the habs this year from sport net. I’m sure you will find a few. There are quite a few games where he either didn’t want to back check or wasn’t able to correctly, his explosiveness coming out of corners on turnovers etc isn’t the greatest.

I’m afraid one good check could send him
Packing.

Exactly the kind of answer I was expecting. Empty.

Historically picks in the 25-32 range turn into relevant players about 1 in every 7 or 1 in every 8.

Thus it's a 12-14% chance the Jets 1st becomes a decent NHL regular.

I'm happy with the player that can help now, vs the player that probably will never be.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Will say took a year but monahan got a first

2 x 1sts. One to take him on and one from trade!

No one is arguing that point. We are just laughing at those that said that Monahan wouldn't get a 1st. Be lucky to get a 2nd with retention and probably will just get a 3rd. You know the knowledgeable HF posters.

I love how the Habs-haters have pivoted to: "Well a late 1st round pick is nothing to sniff at. Chances are Habs screw it up". So let's recap:

Habs fans are delusional for thinking they can get a 1st for Money.

to

Habs fans are delusional if they think the late 1st will amount to anything useful!

My personal favorite is: Well a late 1st is basically a early 2nd.

No just a knowledgeable Hab fan for those that haven't got a clue.

 

[Baksfamous112]

should we be spamming about all the habs fans saying lambert/barlow/mcgroarty? or after lindholm was traded that they were going to get a 1st ++

Didn’t get a first +? Am I reading the trade wrong?

 

[Junohockeyfan]

We did in fact get a +, even if the chances of it materializing is extremely remote.
