Speculation: Canadiens actively shopping 4 players

[McJedi]

MTL

- Arturs Silovs
- 3 rounds pick

VAN

- S. Monahan

Van could use a 2-3C as for montreal they need a futur good goaltender.

weird trade for Vancouver to make. Not sure the Habs need the goalie either.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Habs do not need G prospect. Dobes is just slightly worse than Silovs and they just drafted 3Gs with Fowler and Volokhin looking very good.

Doubt you actually have seen Silovs aside from maybe the world's.
He's better than Demko was at the same age. Forget his size, skill, athleticism, his mental toughness in big stages is what impresses me the most.
He's not getting traded and is likely starting once Demkos deal is up in 2 years. Ian Clark would riot if they moved him.

make it Podkolzin

Monahan is not a huge upgrade over what they have.

 

[Three On Zero]

Habs don’t need a goalie, Canucks don’t need a Monahan

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Lol

 

[Miller Time]

I don't think there's be any interest from Montreal for this.

 

[PocketNines]

IIRC they weren't thrilled about losing him

I was thrilled the Blues "lost" Allen. I really didn't think they could do it. It was like an opiate habit. He defeated one of the best Blues teams ever (14-15) by being the Blues' goalie. He singlehandedly kept them out of a playoff spot in 17-18 and almost buried a Cup worthy team. The idea that this guy is known for turning it up in high stakes games is vomit inducing.

 

[CTHabsfan]

Vancouver fans don't want to trade Arturs Silovs for Sean Monahan and Montreal fans don't want to trade for a goalie prospect after having drafted three in 2023 (adding a 3rd-round pick doesn't make this offer any more appealing). Might as well close this one up.

What! Habs needs goalie prospects badly. Dobes isnt good now and Fowler is just a realy good prospect like othes in the past.

I wouldnt put all my eggs on Montambault and Fowler even if we rebuild over the defense. Thats another reason to make sure that we a stud on bank.... which is not the one in the OP

Meh
The team has confidence in Monty for the next few seasons and Primeau, Dobes, Miller, Fowler & Volohkin give them ample prospects to evaluate & bring along over next 3-4 yrs.

I think it's highly unlikely they give up assets for another prospect/unproven young goalie. If Monty falters, they'll more likely go after a proven vet stop gap rather than another unknown.

 

[Qwijibo]

Rather just wait for the 1st(or equivalent) that hockey insiders continue to suggest Monahan will return. Another goalie prospect doesn't really move the needle

 

[Double Dion]

This should go well. Add in the Rangers and make it a 3 team deal. Get all the most reasonable posters in one thread...

 

[Flyer lurker]

When Monahan goes, I would think its to somebody who needs pp help. Winnipeg at 15% for example. Nucks at 25% dont need a pp guy.

 

[Notabaguette]

Armia will get picked up if they retain his buy out. He's a good 4th line RW at 2mil

Then, do you want an Armia 2M on a 4th line...

 

[John Mandalorian]

Not very common indeed lol


Tell that to the Vegas Knights

Tell that to Blues fans.

 

[Miller Time]

Tell that to Blues fans.

Backup rookies for the win... Indeed

 

[Scintillating10]

With retention I’d say a second

That's what he's worth but doubt Hughes trades Allen that way.

Maybe

 

[Scintillating10]

Maybe

Retaining on Allen going to be an issue for Montreal. Especially for lousy 2nd.

Not saying Hughes is gonna or even try to do it but second would be the high end of a retained Allen. No one is going higher then that

 

[TheNumber4]

And let me guess, they are all worth a 1st round pick.

Yeah. People automatically say retention will cost you. But if Jake Allen should really be making 2.5 for where his performance has been, Montreal has no business asking to be compensated for retention. In this case, Montreal should be retaining 1.3 for free. If Allen at 2.5 is worth a 3rd or 4th, it’s on Montreal to get there. Otherwise, the acquiring team is paying for someone else’s mistake.

Take a 3rd with no retention .
