Habs trade Monahan to Jets

reclamation project 101 -- store a piece of shit asset for two years, hoping it sings again

all these moves by HuGo have been great, but it's the easy (math) part of the gig that can only happen when you don't care about winning

Great job of trading and dumping assets

At some point has to show he can put a good roster together

 

[legoalie]

so significantly less than Calgary got and provides nothing for us for 3 yrs, colour me not impressed

Monty has more risk due to his injury history so hence less in value.. Should we of waited, maybe, but every game Monty plays with us going forward is also a risk..

The fact that no money was retained may have promoted the quick trigger. Not the amount, but the third slot.

Price was set at a first rounder ... trade made

How many teams had interest ......maybe 2-3

Rags were not trading with us

Colorado only has a first and nothing until round 4 ....so they may want to keep the pick

Interesting Hughes mentioned at presser, they’d like to keep that 3rd slot open to move someone else… Allen or Armia?

Armia with salary retention

Allen is a summer deal IMO

 

[lecoqsportif]

Edmunson and Alzner off the books would pay for Armia salary retention.

Edit: that said, he’s still gonna be hard to move.

 

[Fred the Man]

If Rangers won’t trade directly bring in 3rd team. Lafreniere and Roy can be the new French connection playing with Suzuki. Zegras can play with Caufield and Slavkosky.

a few White Russians this afternoon?

Stone sober……Sane, that is another question. Drury will trade with the Habs, if he wants a certain player bad enough

Of course he will

If Flames and Nucks can trade….

If you think you’re winning the deal it’s even better to screw over the one you hate

 

[lecoqsportif]

We get to redo the Gomez trade?

Reinbacher for Laffy

Two first round picks for cash.

Perhaps you're not grasping the beauty.

Reinbacher for Laffy

Harris for Panarin

more likely be 3re team in a trade and eat salary for a 5th

 

[Habsy]

Who the hell wants an Armia

That’s how we dumped Hoffman. Could be a way to dump another smelly contract.

Someone with an even bigger albatross.
