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

[Billy Kvcmu]

Not really surprised like most ppl, we’ve seen the same story with Chiarot

Still a steep price for Manohen

 

[The Great Weal]

Good of you not to be a prick about it. I can see why your fanbase is so well liked.

lol people here said he wasn’t a 2C, not fast or good enough defensively to be a 3C and would be overpaid as a 4C. “Habs fans overrate their players”. Of course we will dunk on them.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not sure if Newhook is close to returning, should be, but the Habs might need a centre.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

steep price for the Jets wow

 

[JeffreyLFC]

You new to HF?

Nah but people are so overreactionary. Just like they never experienced trade deadline type trades.

 

[leafsfan5]

it's funny that people find that suprising...

Well it's a terrible deal so not too surprising an NHL GM did it in that sense

MTL played the Monahan situation perfectly. Got a first rounder for taking him on and then artificially upped his value with good usage to get another first rounder out of him

Too bad they'll waste their picks like they almost always do. Great trading, though!

 

[jetsforever]

I don't really understand why but at least we're doing something

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Wow! Winnipeg really overpaid. That’s a great deal for the Habs.

 

[Captain Mountain]

An over payment but the market for centres was thin. May have been better off with lesser known centre.

Regardless this addresses the Jets need for C depth and the cap hit is good. Not a bad trade by any means. Plus, Bones might work his magic and help him turn into a more effective 2-way player.

His alleged awful defensive play has frankly been over exaggerated by people that only really stat watch without context.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Excellent asset management by Hughes here.

 

[Djp]

Good pickup for the jets

Not at that rice given his injury history.

 

[Baksfamous112]

what Winnipeg fans need to know is Monahan is not going to put up a PPG but he will play honest hockey, win faceoff and put some points on the boards.

I know this is not a shiny acquisition but it is one that can make a difference between a game 7 win or loss in a playoff series. Depth is what makes you go far in the playoff. I hope he does well in Winnipeg, he deserves it

 

[Rafafouille]

I'm still not used to having a capable, maybe even very good, GM.

Hoping we send out a pick and dman for a NHL ready young center soon though...Suzuki can't play 50 minutes a night, nor do I want Evans playing more than 15.

Newhook most likely slots in instead of Monahan. He's 9 weeks into a 10-12 weeks rehab and started skating already.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Vancouver’s reign as the 2nd best center depth in the NHL was short lived.

lol what

 

[NobleSix]

Knew he'd get a first.

Common meme around here is Hab fans wanting first round picks for their rentals. Not sure why considering they've gotten just that for all of Toffoli, Chairot, and now Monahan.

Looks like the "two first round picks" for Monahan that everyone likes to joke about is exactly what they ended up getting!

Masterclass job by Hughes.

 

[PavelBure10]

Suddenly the payment for Elias Lindholm doesn't seem so high.

 

[Play]

Pettersson > Scheifele
Miller > Lowry
Lindholm > Monahan

Maybe you're joking?

Who has the better wingers to put them in a position to succeed?

 

[Inflict]

Supply in demand. He was the best C avaliable after the Lindholm trade. Great work from Montreal....

Worst case Ontario

 

[larmex99]

Nah but people are so overreactionary. Just like they never experienced trade deadline type trades.

Ya, that was why I asked. Hyperbole on steroids for as long as I can remember.

 

[BarracudaMtl]

now, Kent should grab him back at the end of the season and sign him for 1 year.


this is like the turtle bug in Mario Bross, where one could receive infinite 1UP.

 

[LesCanadiens]

So, essentially, we get 2 first round picks (one a potential lottery pic) for Sean Monahan. Man, I LOVE our GM.

 

[Drew Doubty]

Who has the better wingers to put them in a position to succeed?

You said Center depth.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Eh. Everybody whinging about a first round pick. Enjoy the picking 28th to 32nd.

hell yeah
