Proposal: MTL-TML

[All Mod Cons]

I think the Habs could get way more from the other 30 NHL franchises. Probably best to go an look elsewhere and leave the Leafs out of this.

If you want max value from both players, I dont think we trade them as a package.

Savard is a few years removed from being traded for a (late) 1st - I can see his value hovering ariund 2nd/3rd rounder today

Monahan might fetch a better price tha. Savard... probably in a trade layered with conditions that he actually plays

No way the Habs get more than that from any other team.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Definitely not. I just wanted the Leafs to be left out of this insanely shitty deal.

 

[Scintillating10]

Keep dreaming!

You ain't going to get no better trade

 

[McJedi]

This is an idiotic take.

Why on earth would David Savard be a negative asset?

Because he's older and injury prone and injury prone this season having only played in 7 games.

 

[jfhabs]

Jeff Carter has been traded - twice - for a 1st round pick, so his value is already established.

Teams should be lining up to give the Penguins a 1st rounder, right?

Monahan is 29 and still good, Carter is 38 and finished

 

[FerrisRox]

Monahan is 29 and still good, Carter is 38 and finished

Neither are going to sniff a first round draft pick as a return, and that's the point.

This has been repeated a few times in this thread but people keep leaving out that the Lightning acquired Savard with 75 percent of his salary being retained by two different clubs.

The reason the Jackets got a first was, in part, because they ate half his contract.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why on earth would the Leafs accept that?

That's absurd.

This is a troll post and you bought it.

 

[Sendhelplease]

The only way I can see Monahan returning a first round pick is if he is traded in a deal with conditions that require the team to win the cup and for Monahan to play in like half the playoff games. I think if he is traded the best Montreal is getting in terms of guaranteed pick is a second or third.

 

[peconcan]

The same Sean Monahan with 85 points total the last 4 years?

I disagree , Monahan will get a late first or good prospect equivalent to that if he keeps it up.

Tampa also paid an additional 3rd and 4th rnd pick iirc.
The Habs can retain easily if the payment is decent enough or have a 3rd team do so.

 

[General Fanager]

Because he's older and injury prone and injury prone this season having only played in 7 games.

If blocking Tage Thompson shots is injury prone then I guess you are right. That video is how he got injured. He probably isnt worth what he was a few years ago, but that video shows why he is still valuable.

 

[ole ole]

Don't think he is trolling. This is kinda how MTL Fans think.

Sounds like your trolling with that statement.

You don't have much else to offer. Savard has a ring, right shot, signed to cheap contract. Exact fit for Toronto. Monahan improves Leafs third line.

You offer your '26 #1 instead of Cowan?

Man the Leafs are not giving us what your asking for.
The offer is bad and it's an invitation for trolls.

Well Im not saying he's worth a first... and Why cant mtl eat half his contract?

Overall though, if a team wants him its gonna be cheap

Sometimes you just know a thread is going to be bad before your even open it

a big part why cbs received a 1st was the market was trash for d...

but i dont think savard will bring that and its also the reason why i think habs will keep him

 

[LeafChief]

I'd be very interested in Monahan but most definitely not at that price.

The OP is obviously not indicative of how the majority of level headed Habs fans think. Similar to the Leafs, when you have a large fanbase, the fringe minority of lunatics are plentiful.

I'm reluctant to open this can of worms. But what price would you be ok with for a solid 3C that can play up the lineup, is extremely good in the circle, has a low AAV, and would be coming from a hated divisional rival that seldom trade with each other?

I'm not implying he's worth a 1st, just curious where the intersection is between what you'd pay and what Montreal would accept from Toronto for a player that will garner a lot of interest if he becomes available.

I don't know what Leafs are thinking? Hard to get a good right shot dman on cheap contract. Impossible to get a big 55 center, 56% on faceoffs making 2 million. They so cheap but yet are pissing away prime years of Matthews, Marner, Nylander. Crazy

 

[Aashir Mallik]

You aren’t getting 2 firsts for those guys. The only reason we’d want them in a package is if it would be cheaper than expected.

You aren’t getting Cowan for either piece, you should watch some of his highlights just to get an understanding of the player, he isn’t a piece you trade for a 3C or bottom pairing d, which we have an abundance of

This isn’t to say i wouldn’t look to acquire monohan, but I’d like to not go over a 2nd+ some prospect. If that’s a bit less for Montreal I’m willing to walk away from the trade

No real interest in savard. I’d rather we grt legit top 4 dman and pay more than him

 

[BJCOLLINS]

It absolutely is not how Montreal fans think. This guy and a few of the other usual suspects are outliers on the Habs board too.

Hey, do yourself a favour & “don’t feed the trolls“……a reasonable leaf fan is as rare as a leaf tuff guy. They’ve been using cast away Habs D for a couple of years now….little Vicky mete is one, lol.

 

[Fear]

If my team is trading two firsts (and Easton has impressed so far) for a rental it better be for a superstar. Not two depth players

 

[HabsAddict]

HuGo tweeted that he wants to be loved by fans of other teams so he's going to take the lowest bid for Monahan and Savard. Particularly if they promise to send a box of chocolates.

Wait a few minutes while I try to find the link. I know I dropped it on the easy chair somewhere....

The thread may be about trading Monahan and Savard to To but reality is very far away from it.

They will go to the highest bidder, just like every other trade. And Monahan WILL fetch a 1st. Savard may or may not but certainly not a late 2nd.
