Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] F Sean Monahan signs extension with the Canadiens (1 year, $1.985M)

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Seems like a pretty good signing to me.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Very curious to why he didn't test the waters

How do you know he didn't? Would you have wanted your team to sign him to this deal? I'm gonna say likely No.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If Monahan produces at a 50 pt pace like he was last year and stays healthy, he's going to have a lot of value at the tdl with a 1 M cap hit (after retaining 50%)

 

[Blue Chip Prospect]

I like Monahan ! Even without thinking about returns at the TDL, this is a win to have him on the team plus we already got a 1st for him.

I’ve seen people talk about character issues in this thread !? The guy played injured for years to try to help the flames. Everybody talk in a positive way about him and honestly even our team’s golden retriever ( Cole Caufield ) talked about him very positively this season. That’s all I need to know.

 

[CanadienShark]

Nice!

 

[General Fanager]

Solid deal for both sides...

Its also good to see the usual Habs haters in this thread......

 

[johnnybbadd]

Fair deal on both sides. If he’s healthy he could produce like a 4-5 million player but his availability is his worst ability. Would be nice for him to get 60+ games in though. I’m definitely rooting for him.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

There was nothing but health issues. Are you implying character issues? Why would you do that?

I think that there's always scuttlebutt about the Flames locker room in the hockey news space, so I can see why someone unfamiliar with Monahan would assume that he was part of that mess.

The truth is, there's literally a parody twitter account making fun of how boring Sean Monahan is LOL.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Health issues aren't his only things Montreal fans. Teams literally refused a 1st round pick to take him on last year should be very telling

Yeah, why didn't all those teams just absorb a $6M replacement level player at the time....

Another spot taken by an old guy instead of playing a young guy

loved Montreal. close to home etc.
I'm paraphrasing

 

[HuGo Sham]

Isn’t he the 2C in Montreal so should get opportunities to produce points? Could be good for his next contract and Habs could trade him at the 2024 TDL. Kind of a potential win/win

He was the two C but the hope is Dach moves into that spot. There are too many moving parts right now to say where he'll play. Hughes is trying to move up to select a C. If he doesn't they'll have to decide if they move that pick in some kind of package for Dubois.
If that happens, Dach will move to the wing and play probably with Caufield and Suzuki.
We haven't even discussed Evans or Dvorak - one will certainly be dealt

 

[JeffreyLFC]

for that price, I wish my Isles would have taken a flyer on him for 1 year.

You can get a flyer player instead.
How about Scott Laughton?

 

[nhlfan9191]

Another spot taken by an old guy instead of playing a young guy

He’s a good veteran guy that can be moved to wing if healthy. He had good chemistry with our team last year.

Which kid up front is likely to lose his spot ? Slaf ? RHP? Ylonen ? Maybe Ylonen, but I have limited hopes in him anyways...

I just see us as less likely to re-sign a Gurianov or a Tierney, and I think that's a good thing, it's better to have positive role models, solid pros, on a pretty young team overall.

"limits those who can view his profile"
A troll who hides. Probably a leafs fan.
I know it's hard to believe Monahan wanted to stay.
If you weren't so lazy, you could find that quote in his
exit interviews.

you:

Are you calling yourself a troll?

 

[PriceIsGod]

Another spot taken by an old guy instead of playing a young guy

We don't even know what other moves could happen yet, Hughes may somehow find a way to move out guys like Hoffman, Armia, and/or Dvorak.

I'm curious as to what young guy you have in mind and want to see on the roster next year? I know some fans are high on Farrell and Heineman but both are yet to play a season in Laval and I really don't think a year in the AHL will ruin their development. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game and could lead to one or both getting NHL time anyways.

I'm responding to the poster who laughed at my post

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

what the f*** does that even mean?
Go back and bicker with the other dozen
habs fans you're always bickering with

You quoted yourself man....

sorry. I clarified

He would just get troll stomped or the post removed for calling him out in his cowardice

Link? More like some teams couldn't afford the price tag attached to him.
Nice try though.

 

[ole ole]

Maybe because it's true. Literally he has character issues that has been a reason why Michael Russo who covers Minnesota and nhl says Minnesota wild gm never wanted and wouldn't take on him the many times he was asked. He also said several gm won't.

Link.
