<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Former PPG forward… what does that have to do with anything? Weren’t you the one who just told us all to forget that Monahan was dumped mere months ago because it’s in the past?

If Hughes manages to get a first for Monahan, give him GM of the year. That’s a ton for a guy who’s trade value was the negative value of a first round pick in the summer.</div></div>

I mentioned it in a previous comment, but I mentioned his previous seasons because he's 28 and he had those bad seasons due to injury (not because of regression).

Even if you don't that into account, he's a 2ne line center. When was the last time a 2nd line center got less than a 1st +?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ARMCHAIRGMOFTHEYEAR</b></div><div>"Former" A team wont pay for him because hes a "Former" PPG player especially with his injury history. Im a fan of Monahan and think he might be able to net a first but thats max with the way the TDL market is.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>The fact that you say "former PPG" just goes to show that even you know that he is nothing like what he used to be. Just because he was good like 4 years ago doesn't mean he is that same player now.

Guess you're forgetting the part where he was so injured he needed double hip surgery. He was on 0 hips doing this. He's showed he capable of being a very good player again this year. Night and day difference between this year and last.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Cuz gms care about what kind of players they're bringing in, and history matters there quite a lot. Especially if they plan to keep the guy long-term.

That being said, I think Monahan stays in MTL. But for the life of me I can't see a scenario where Habs net a first for first taking him in, and another for moving him out. Sounds WAY too fantasy world sh*t for me.</div></div>

Thank God we had Bergevin as GM (for the purpose of this conversation) because he was king of these type if trades.

Montreal Acquires Scandella for 2020 4th

Montreal Trades Scandella for 2020 2nd + 2021 4th

Montreal signs Kovalchuk at league minimum

February 28th 2020
Montreal Trades Kovalchuk for 2020 3rd (could've got 2nd but Montreal let Kovalchuk choose where he goes)

You could even say Weise (waivers) + Fleishman (FA signing) for 2nd + Danault.

Truth is there was a lot of risk to the Monahan trade. Not every teams owner is willing to spend $6.3 Million for a 1st round pick on top of having the salary space to do it. Montreal took a huge risk and it paid off
