Winnipeg Jets powerplay before acquiring Sean Monahan: 15.7%. Winnipeg Jets powerplay after acquiring Sean Monahan: 31.3%
Pretty much an identical effect with him on Montreal. The second he left it fell apart (as many of us in this thread said would happen)Winnipeg Jets powerplay before acquiring Sean Monahan: 15.7%. Winnipeg Jets powerplay after acquiring Sean Monahan: 31.3%
Dude just lives in the slot being a bumper. Idk why more guys can't do this to such great effect.Winnipeg Jets powerplay before acquiring Sean Monahan: 15.7%. Winnipeg Jets powerplay after acquiring Sean Monahan: 31.3%
Well said; Anderson would be a better fit on a team with structured coaching and a finite number of set plays.
It seems every coach has 1-2 players who just can never fit in, which is why I don't always like coaching changes - it invariably leads to having to trade away a player or two at sub-optimal moments in their career.
Somewhat ironically, the best fit I've seen recently for Anderson was with a guy I assume might end up being the next Habs coach, André Tourigny in Arizona, whose team had many set plays off faceoffs and other game situations.
Mtl has tons of capspace and the gap will increase in the coming years with Armia, Dvo and Savard coming off the books. Price, Gally and Matheson will be up shortly after. This was another bonehead move by a certain BargainBin who went on a spending spree at the end of his tenure. Likely because he wanted to save his job, after he realized that he didn't acquire enough assets previously. I mean a 7 yr contract (38.5 mil) for a guy who never reached 50 points in his career. What were the Habs thinking? You keep him until the contract expires. He's not bad for a third liner.Anderson's 5.5 salary is the problem that you repeatedly ignore. For the player he is, he's not worth 5.5 even in an environment more suited for him.
He's either a swap for another bad contract, heavily retained for 4 years, or he's costing Montreal a couple of 1sts.
They got them to Finals though. Without this terrible long rebuild. Nor trading any of his future, draft picks or prospects. Habs drafted a lot last two drafts Bergs was here. Really hard to do. But he did give out too many bad contracts to get players stay here.

yeah I dont think so, HF gets stuff like this wrong all the time. you seem to think all GMs are smart.Anderson's 5.5 salary is the problem that you repeatedly ignore. For the player he is, he's not worth 5.5 even in an environment more suited for him.

strong chance MTL is stuck with him but the cost to move will for sure not be a couple 1sts. 1 would be enough for where MTL is ranked. although that would be a tough pill to swallow for them
I could even see a team take a 2nd++

yeah but thats for like contending teams. rebuilding teams dont pay to dump cap. normally atleast and especially not 1sts/ low 1sts or multiple low 1sts.The threshold for a 6M cap dump is a 1st, no? He has a lot of term left. Not sure about actual dollars but its likely over 12 M.
lol pretty stupid to say im sad just because Im talking about value. I never really got into why it doesnt make sense for MTL or teams in their position dont make moves like this but sure whatever ya say palYou guys are just sad. First off Cap-wise the Habs are good right now. We can afford to carry both Anderson and Gallagher's contract. Heck even Dvorak's contract is bad but we can survive so no we're not coughing up anything to unload them. I can see us trading most of 'em on TDL's in their UFA's maybe taking an expiring Cap-dump for 2nd's or 3rd's or 4th's depending on the player.
Don't worry haters we'll get a bit of value and just keep on trucking.
Not arguing this. But a Habs fan presented the idea of trading him without it being a dump.yeah but thats for like contending teams. rebuilding teams dont pay to dump cap. normally atleast and especially not 1sts/ low 1sts or multiple low 1sts.
well thats a tough one to sell. maybe Habs dont need to dump cap but in the end thats what it is with how Anderson is playing for that contractNot arguing this. But a Habs fan presented the idea of trading him without it being a dump.

Anderson will finish his contract with the Habs if they think they can get value for him. No team is touching it unless an equally bad contract goes backLmao.
Always fun to read the main boards. Only here can you have people so confidently be so wrong.
Hughes waited too long to trade Anderson. He had a good return on the table couple years ago. Wouldn't trade AndersonAnderson will finish his contract with the Habs if they think they can get value for him. No team is touching it unless an equally bad contract goes back
I’d like to get him back tbhAs a Flames fan in Calgary, I am delighted to see Monahan succeed after the physical beating he took in front of the net in Calgary. If his story resembles Teemu Selanne's and Gary Roberts' stories (injured to the point of career over, rising refreshed after time off to new glory) then I am happy.
I hope he and the Jets can work something out. He has been a good fit there, so hopefully he doesn't chase possible higher money elsewhere and regret it if it doesn't work as well as now.
Who had this on their bingo card this time last year?
Also apparently wore an A the other day for them.
I'm glad he's doing well there, he's a great player and I bet the Jets resign him.
