Habs trade Monahan to Jets

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Neither did keeping Monahan, I'll take the lottery ticket.

I never stated we were keeping him, but expected to get someone who might actually play a game this year or next.

 

[GEEMAN]

well, this trade did not lengthen nor shorten a rebuild, a 25-30th overall might make the team in 2027, if by chance we did get the conditional, then we draft 32 so 2027 and the conditional might play a game in 2031.

This trade does not move the needle either way.

Keeping Mony was pointless , Hugo set a price and pounced

This trade was never moving a needle , simply asset accumulation for possibly future moves

 

[Habsy]

Why? You weren't paying attention if that's what your expectation was.

that's a low bar

Jesse Ylönen fits that description

Count wanted a 3 team trade to bring in PLD

as opposed to the high bar for someone who might play for us in 3 years that seems to have some posters aroused?

nice strawman

I be more upset if Monty would of gotten hurt in the next few weeks and is out for the season.. more upside to this trade than keeping him..

We won’t make that pick. It will be packaged up for someone who can play immediately.

Cmon what more did you expect

A first was the best your getting , no need for suspect prospects as our pipeline is full of them

Aging vets or bottom 6 players ...move on

Nobody was giving us what Calgary got as Kuz was a pure salary dump and Hugo wanted no part of salary coming back

Peg was not giving us their top prospects

This was a good trade and basically ends up being 2 firsts to take Mony`s contract off Calgary`s hands and one of them is only top 2 protected next year

A suzuki type return would have been nice.

 

[lecoqsportif]

For Pacioretty?

Never gonna happen.

Apparently that's what Hughes was hoping for as well, but it wasn't there.

Dach and Newhook give me data points.

You can’t compare MaxPac to Mony.

 

[wiseguy1]

You can’t compare MaxPac to Mony.

He was pretty ordinary before he got traded.

 

[CH1]

You can’t compare MaxPac to Mony.

Wolverine vs Mr Glass

 

[legoalie]

He was pretty ordinary before he got traded.

hello.. with the exception of the 44 game season, he had 5 -30 + goals seasons out of the last 6.. .. the 6th season he got injured..

 

[Habsy]

Yeah it's a down year for him and Calgary has no talent. I suspect his numbers to go up paired with talent in Vancouver.
