[Play]

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

 

[Mooche]

Wait. It wasn't Rutger going to Montreal?



Something had to be done about the C depth. With a healthy Scheif back in the line-up -- the C depth looks pretty damn strong. I think it gives Bones some nice options to play around with to start to build up some chemistry as we move towards the playoffs. The extra time with Monahan in the line-up will help, for sure.

On top of that, the low AAV cap-hit of Monahan at 1.985M leaves some other options on the table for Chevy to make some moves as we inch closer to the deadline.

Dreger posting about teams circling back to Monahan had peaked my interest seeing how he seems to always be in tune with the Jets and their plans. Did not take long for that to come to fruition.

Stastny > Hayes > Monahan

Desperation move imo. Hopefully it works out.

 

[WaveRaven]

Arrrrrgggh a 1st

 

[DRW204]

Initial thoughts

Don't like it at the cost of a 1st. I don't think he's better than scheifele or namestnikov, and lowry isn't moving off 3C.

Monahan's career highs exceed Stas' and Hayes'. He is capable of a lot.

Desperation move imo. Hopefully it works out.

Would you have spent this on Monahan, or a WPG equivalent for Lindholm?

Desperation move imo. Hopefully it works out.

Yep. Just shit asset management.

Hopefully he completely changes who he has been as a hockey player the past 5 or so years.

 

[Guardian17]

I hope he can surprise us.

Hopefully we retain Montreal's second round pick.

 

[rehf]

Booooo.

Sean Midahan, welcome aboard I guess.

100% waste of a 1st.

 

[jetsmooseice]

Arrrrrgggh a 1st

What exactly are we waiting for before we go all in?

 

[Thechozen1]

Guy is fragile and won’t last when things ramp up in the playoffs.


Chevy better have something else in the works because this won’t do shit!!

 

[DRW204]

That was like 5 years and 5 surgeries ago. He may not be the same player.

 

[WaveRaven]

What exactly are we waiting for before we go all in?

A team thats proven itself which it hasn't.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This is the Hayes trade all over again. Guy will be the 4C before the end of the year, and we’ll waste an asset that could’ve gone towards a player that’s actually useful. Hoping there’s more to it, but I don’t have high hopes.

 

[Jets]

His advanced stats are atrocious. At first glance we just gave up a first and more for a guy slightly better than Gus.

 

[gojetsgo]

well lets hope this works out and if it does we still own mtl 2nd so it would be close to our 1st regardless

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Would you have spent this on Monahan, or a WPG equivalent for Lindholm?

Hard to know the exact WPG equivalent, but I would rather have gone for Lindholm. If I'm giving a first plus for a rental I want someone who I think is a difference maker, don't think that's Monahan.

Agreed. How much better is he vs Namestnikov? And Names went for a future 4th last year.

I don't think he's any better of our current 3 centres. And maybe overall the 9th or 10th best fwd on the team? We'll see how it shakes out on the ice.

 

[jetsforever]

Seems a bit random and don't love a first for Monahan but trades are still fun

 

[Maukkis]

If this was a route they felt was absolutely necessary to take, the least they could have done was to give up Heinola instead of a first rounder.

The player coming back is terrible either way, but the way Chevy handles his assets when the team is supposed to contend is just atrocious. Since the Hayes fiasco, he straight up murdered all the deadlines when we were a mediocre pile of trash, both in terms of his acquisitions and his disposals. Now we're good for a hot minute, and this happens.

 

[snowkiddin]

Not a great deal on the surface, but we needed C depth. But that's too much for him.

 

[Ossific]

I mean the difference between our first and the Montreal second isn't that big so I guess that's okay.. but there must have been better options out there

 

[Jee]

You guys will love him, he's getting underrated a lot on HF.
