Sean Monahan is having fun with a advantageous season. In 48 video games, the middle has 13 objectives and 21 assists, good for 34 factors. He have to be proud that his physique hasn’t let him down to this point.
Inevitably, everybody’s questioning what he is likely to be price on the commerce market.
We all know he’s no Elias Lindholm, however nonetheless: Sean Monahan is superb, he’s a great level guard, he’s incomes $1.985 million this season and he’s on the finish of his contract. A dream come true.
The extra time passes, the extra we wonder if the Canadiens will hold him or not. We all know that Kent Hughes has promised to commerce him to a great membership on the deadline, however… a man’s bought a proper to need to keep, doesn’t he?
However hey. In a practical world, he’ll be traded. And on that topic, Elliotte Friedman talked about his worth on his podcast immediately.
And also you don’t pay a first-round decide for a 3rd heart.

In fact, if Friedman is speaking about it, he’s in all probability saying that there’s a chance of that occuring. However does that imply that the principle get together is essentially… ?
That’s a great query.
The query I’m questioning about is how a lot of a bonus it’s for the Habs to commerce Monahan if they’ll’t get a first-round decide for his companies.
- Commerce him at a value that fits them
- Commerce him at a value that doesn’t swimsuit them
- Maintain him and signal him to a contract extension
- Maintain him with out signing a contract extension
If the participant ever needed to remain (a man’s bought a proper to alter his thoughts about this summer season’s plans, doesn’t he?) and will agree on a great contract with Kent Hughes, the membership may benefit.
In spite of everything, it’s debatable whether or not the Habs would actually profit from buying and selling Monahan for a second-round decide (and possibly a late-round one at that) as a substitute of conserving him. Maxim Lapierre goes even additional, questioning the advantages of buying and selling him for a first-round decide.
I counsel that individuals who need to commerce Monahan for a first-round decide take 2 minutes and calculate every thing. A participant like Monahan could be very laborious to seek out. The primary decide, which is able to certainly be 25 to 32, gained’t essentially change into an NHL star…

And solely the membership’s administration can reply that… however I’ll say this: if Monahan stays for the appropriate value, let’s simply say I wouldn’t be the primary to throw the primary stone on the Habs.
Let’s additionally notice that I don’t imagine within the state of affairs of sending him elsewhere on the deadline to signal him in July. That by no means works.
