Given the amount of rental forwards avaliable, I doubt that Monahan brings a 23 1st even with retention.

you are right i forgot to add it

I think MTL have a better chance to get a 1st for Edmundson. He's younger than Chiarot, and still has 2 years left. Defenseman like him were traded for 1st for the last 2-3 deadlines.

If MTL can't get a 1st for Monahan, i would ask for a conditional 2nd becoming a 1st if the team win 2 playoffs rounds. Something like Copp last year.

i feel like teams will have learned from the chariot trade and offer a slightly less apealing package. that's why i went with a 2nd but we never know they might still be that stupid and do it.

and for monahan i agree that would be a good idea

Teams throw high picks for those kind of defenseman every trade deadlines.

those defensman are better then edmunson and chariot.. guys like manson are better overall and that's why they deserved a first

Savard was traded for a 1st in 2021. Won the cup with Tampa. They're all not worth a 1st, but that's apparently their trade deadline value.

I think two years of Edmundson at 1.75M would interest some teams. If not, keep him one more year and trade him next season.
