That surprised me a bit too. As a Habs fan I am glad that it is not one of the conditions but it would not have been an unreasonable thing for Winnipeg to demand.

I was wrong. I figured he would go for a Conditional 1st based on games played. He went for a 1st and conditional future 3rd. Pretty well directly between what @Campabee (1st&3rd) and myself (Conditional 1st) have been saying.

I thought that the Dvorak trade from Arizona was a good trade for Montreal at the time (especially after the Kotkaniemi offer sheet matter). I thought he would be a good 20 to 25 goal center who played well defensively. I was really wrong there. Dvorak really has not worked out in Montreal at all (in my opinion).

I don't really like these kinds of threads so don't post on them often, I know why you posted it but asking for other teams fans to apologize is as arrogant as some of those fans comments. I could show threads showing every ACGM or comment I have made over the last few weeks where I said a 1st + 3rd ish is the value but lets not forget that we can be wrong as well and when we are we don't always readily admit it either. I thought when we traded Petry to Detroit that we were going to get more, we didn't and we weren't called out too often on that one so why should we call out someone else? Just my opinion though, I just like the debating and sometimes even heated debates with others (you know who you are lol) as long as they don't get too out of hand.

On a lighter note, congrats to the Jets on acquiring Monahan, hope you guys don't go too deep lol (just want that 3rd round pick and a higher 1st than 32nd lol) but in all seriousness good luck hopefully either you or the Canucks can bring the cup home!

I am not asking for an apology from anyone really. My biggest point is that some people could be more respectful of other people's opinions before they start typing . There are not a lot of those people out there, but those people who just want to tear down other people/fanbases make it disappointing (of course I am not being forced to read those comments, so I can just choose to ignore it too). Just hoping that some individuals are more courteous and do not act as though they are sitting in the GM office of their own team and know exactly what their team will or will not do (within reason).

Yes, as you said, good luck to Monahan and to the Jets in 2024/2025 (we need the pick from Winnipeg to have as much value as possible).

Sorry, I want necessarily talking about your thread when I said they were being arrogant, yours isn't too bad but just scroll the list of recent ACGM's like half of them are Habs fans calling out other fan bases using sarcasm and trolling. I only posted on yours cause it I was in it at the time and yours had a lot of their comments on it as well.

Fair point.

Now, I am off to make a post about that Evans and Pearson trade to Anaheim for Zegras and their first round pick this year! (Kidding kidding).

A 1st was a given, everyone knew that, inside anyway lol, but what should be embarrassing is asking for an A prospect with it ...

Fake news, but thanks for the laughs

Love how @Caniac555 is trying to compare a Monahan++ deal in here to attempt to prove a point. Strange behaviour but not surprised in the slightest

I said Monahan would go for a 2nd + prospect, he went for a 1st and conditional third (which has at best a 5-7% chance of happening). I was wrong, but not that far off.

I made the point that after the Lindholm trade, the pendulum swing where Habs posters were thinking they’d get premium assets (like Kakko, top prospects, etc). When asked I provided the posts accordingly.

This is a very odd flex going on here. Added to ignore list.

The only odd flex is that you keep bringing up that you thought he should have went for a 2nd, and seemingly won't rest until someone praises you for said comment.

I'm one of those Jets fans that was high on Lindholm and low on Monahan. I was hoping Chevy would splurge for Lindholm right up until I saw that price tag. Glad he went to a team in the Pacific instead of the Central, and glad the Jets didn't pay that price.

I was sure that Monahan could be had for a 2nd + B prospect until the Lindholm trade tbh. Vancouver definitely raised the bar for the center market with that package.

I was basing all my guesses (because guessing is what we do on capfriendly) on a deadline day acquisition, and getting Monahan 5 weeks early changes how I think about the acceptable price-range for the Jets.

I think the extra 5 weeks of not only Monahan learning Bowness-style hockey and fitting in with the Jets, but also of Montréal tanking and raising the value of their 2nd rounder, more than pays for the difference between the WPG 1st and the MTL 2nd. I think that there is a real possibility that the picks end up being 5-8 selections apart from each other when all is said and done. My hope is that Montréal ends up getting the WPG 2027 3rd rounder as well.

That being said, I trust Chevy entirely and completely. The guy simply doesn't miss, and the pro scouts in the Jets organization are some of the best in the league (in my opinion). He wouldn't have gotten Monahan if he didn't think it would make the Jets a better team. The same applies to not paying for Lindholm. Chevy didn't think it was worth the cost, and I believe in Chevy.

Monahan plays his first game as a Jet in 3 hours. He skipped the morning skate with his new team, which I personally find hilarious. I've been reading the @boringseanmonahan twitter account since the trade and it's pure gold. I hope he fits in well with Perfetti and Ehlers. I also hope that he picks Mony Mony as his goal song. I like him way more now that he's a Jet, and I'm excited for the rest of the season with him.

It is a statement trade from Chevy too, especially after last year's post all-star game Jets team. A clear message to the locker room that he expects them to win a cup this year.

Upon video review, the trade was determined to be a good price at a 1st + a 3rd. Campabee was right lol.

This isn't a matter of opinion. The evidence is clear. You can spin all the stories you want but in doing so you are just showing that you are one of the people you were talking about in that first post.

You're right, the evidence IS clear. This is clearly a bit more than just monahan moving...
