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

[Junohockeyfan]

Monahan was easily worth a late 1st. Not saying you will win the cup with him but you won't be disappointed with the player you got.

Unless he gets a season ending injury!

And, unlike Calgary in the Lindholm deal, the Habs didn’t agree to take back a cap dump.

That go for any player traded.

from a montreal pov you can evaluate the trade. from winnpeg's side we have to wait until their season ends.

Some are more brittle than others!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Who is THEY? If you can bring up more than one fan i would be surprised and apologize. Many fans thought it would be a late first or perhaps a 2nd plus a prospect. What you mention is a fabrication in your own mind to take away the awful taste of cold stewed crow.

I'm not tasting any crow. No need to fabricate. I never participated in that debate.

You can believe anything you want.

Who is THEY? Some Habs fans. Not some other Habs fans.

 

[HuGort]

Monahan was playing good hockey for us in last of it. He's going to help Winnipeg.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Who's "they"? You mean a few delusional fans?

Yes, every board has a few of those but most Habs fans said they would be ecstatic with a first round pick. Some even thought we would only a get 2nd.

Can't judge a whole fanbase on a few unreasonable posters (even if they're some of the most vocal).

Yes, some number of delusional fans. I have no idea how representative that number is, or isn't.

Not judging anyone except those who posted that idea.

And yes, every fanbase has 'em.

All one of them...

The rest had the audacity to ask for a 1st round pick stand alone and were considered delusional by the main boards.

 

[Kennerback]

Monahan is easily worth what the Jets paid for him IF he can stay healthy. He’s a Swiss Army knife that can play in all situations. He’s very smart offensively.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

When asked if he will improve the Jets' powerplay, Money dodged the question. And nearly dislocated his hips in the process.

Bubble wrap that man!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I have a good laugh when I read this. Everyone were saying the Habs won't get a 1st for Monahan. Most of Habs' fan disagreed. Most of us insist that Monahan will return a first. Some more optimistic Habs fan think we get a B prospect together with the 1st. You are one of those poster who couldn't accept the fact that you have been wrong.

Didn't participate in that debate/discussion. So haven't been wrong. Also haven't been wrong in my expectations. Always thought Monahan was worth < 1st. Always thought some GM would pay that +. Hoped it wouldn't be Chevy, because I hoped he would go elsewhere and pay more for better.

Since we got him I'm glad we didn't add much to the 1st and hoping he turns out to be as good as some Habs fans are telling us he is. I hope we have to pay that small add.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

So you believe the majority of Habs fans were expecting that when it was just one loon?

It was some loons. I don't know how many.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

It was some loons. I don't know how many.

And compare that to the entire Jets board that felt a 1st was egregious... I think 50% still think its egregious 2 x days later.

Will 100% help the Jets‘ powerplay. If he stays out of the hospital... He still looks very good.

Just put him in the bumper and have him feed Connor.

The entire Jets board?
Yeah right, like the entire any group agrees on anything.

Most, not all, felt that the 1st was too much, though not by a very wide margin. Many thought giving the Habs their 2nd back would be about right. The value difference between those 2 picks will be small.

It was those Habs fans (however many) asking for a strong add to the 1st that were seen as egregious.

Most Jets fans are coming around on it. Very few would call it egregious. I did see 1. Egregious was not the word he used but he really didn't like it. ONE guy, not 50%.

Most were very angry with the trade. Reading the Jets thread is hysterical.

Bottom line: Habs fans nailed it with the 1st. Jets fans will be happy they paid it (unless he gets injured).

 

[Kennerback]

It’ll be a huge win-win for the Jets if he stays healthy. He still plays hockey at a high level. Coach, teammates and fans loved him.

Hell before the trade most Jets didn't even want to give up 2nd rd pick.
After we got what most Hab fans were asking Jet fans were made about the trade and then seem to suddenly change their opinion on the trade and are now liking it . Wonder what changed?

How the hell would you know. Like you said you never participated in that debate. All the back peddling .

Just because someone paid a certain amount for something doesn’t mean it’s worth that.

If he was as great as Habs fans try to portrait , they wouldn’t be ecstatic and rejoicing for the return like this

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Not a lot of wiggle room.

Such a dumb way to put it everyone including Sabres fans knew Philly was getting robbed when they traded for Ristolainen...it's the same here. A bad trade doesn't validate anything.

Equating Ristolainen and Monahan ?

Proof of a great mind...

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Context my friend. I was replying to a poster who claimed Chevy gave up a shitload. Not to what Montreal received for Monahan in total between two separate transactions. This thread is not about what Montreal received over two trades, its specifically about the Jets/Mtl trade.

Yep, let's lose sight of the forest for the tree...

LMFAO... they aren't the Canadian team that would go all the way... and that "32 overall" pick will drop 10+ spots if they get knocked out early.

4-6 spots if they lose in the 1st or 2nd round, not 10...

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

We don't have our own second round pick this year.

And that was his point.

Winnipeg has Montréal 2nd rounder.
