The condition is apparently that we only get it if the jets win the cup? Wtf is that
TripleWDot
Realistically it’s just a 2024 1st because the condition on that 3rd is contingent on the Jets winning the Cup this year. Not a bad deal all things considered.
At the end of the day, I think Hughes played this very safely, and I’m ok with that.
-Nyco-
I’m happy but also underwhelmed
Pazzaaaaaa
I am now a fan of jets getting knocked out first round or winning the cup. No in between

Now we’re Tanking TANKING. I know the trade somewhat makes sense, but it still hurts. Loved the guy.

Something to consider here is the fact that of all the teams who could have used Monahan, Winnipeg might the one more likely to get a surprise early exit this year’s playoffs. Boston, New York, Emdonton.. all those guys should go far in the playoffs so Hughes might have taken this into account.

r/hockey mad because they don’t think monahan is worth a 1st. r/habs mad because they think he was worth a 1st and a top prospect. The dichotomy of sports fandom😂

At the end of the day people will dismiss the conditional pick but hey, it’s there so in the realm that actually do win it we get an extra pick we wouldn’t be getting.
Thanks Monny!
WintertimeLivingEasy
it’s like a win-win-win for Hughes.
Free 1st rounder to get him
+ Jets are most likely gonna face Stars, and if they have a first round exit, it could be a 20-24th pick.
+the team has no 2c and no 3c, meaning full tank
Dexteris
To those unhappy about the team efforts to fall down the standings this year, well it’s on now!
We now have 2 nhl centers left. Suzuki and Evans lol
Alb4t0r
It’s a bit smaller as a return than I expected, but keep in mind that Monahan probably had a say on where he wanted to land, so we don’t know what were the offers. Plus there’s no salary retention, which tend to come with its own cost.
In the end we got two late first rounders for a guy who played less than a full season for us, there’s a limit to greediness.
Thaddeauz
So our centers are now Suzuki, Evans, Stephens and Condotta until Newhook come back in a few weeks? The Tank is alive and well.

Thanks for everything Mony! Loved having you on the team- here’s hoping you sign with us next season.

Maybe Hughes will use both first round picks to move up in the draft or to grab a top prospect from another team.

If he ends up resigning during the summer with Mtl, he’s gonna end up as the most valuable asset in the habs’ modern history

so long, 💸

Thanks Calgary for driving up Monahan’s price!
KonkeyDong66
So we need 2 centres now.

Who had Evans are our second line centre at the beginning of the year?

Hughes has said publicly he wants to trade away 2024 draft picks, looks like he’s just stocking up more 2024 picks to package for a deal at the draft
Baronleduc
Okay. I wasn’t expected to get the moon in exchange, but compared to the Lindstrom trade two days ago, is kinda … disappointing?
Maybe the Lindstrom trade got us super hyped for Mony.
A first round is a first round, and that’s great return.
… but I wouldn’t mind if we get a young player on top of the first round( not McGroarty or Lambert, that’s obv we ain’t gonna get them. The Jets aren’t stupid).
Unless Hughes has other ideas for potential trades next TDL.
kozed
I said Monahan having a say in where he’d prefer to go would prohibit any bidding war and lower the return.
Looks like that’s what happened. Just a 1st rounder is as baseline a return as one would expect.
Now the question is whether Hughes trades that 1st rounder away for another Newhook reclamation project or actually drafts a kid.
Per Tankathon that 1st is 30th right now. Whatever happens in the playoffs, it should be a very late 1st rounder. Not a huge value by itself.
All in all, we got two 1st rounders for letting Monahan play 74 games with us. A net positive.
Habs_Apostle
Well, I guess this is nice. Ultimately, though, it depends on what comes of the first. Does it translate into a solid roster player? Time will tell…
JeanJacquesDatsyuk
Tij Iginla with that pick 🙏
paul_33
Not gonna lie, I expected more but its literally a free pick for signing him. Good job
Leftover-Lefty
We’re about to take a big step back and I’m totally cool with that. Happy they were able to get another 1st for him. Wouldn’t surprise me if they packaged that pick to acquire another sub 21 year old player/prospect.
bathbwoi
This deal looks like Monahan had a say, not a good deal not a bad deal just Meh, woulda been good if he could have taken a prospect with the first
BlankoNinyo
Imagine the Jets go on a huge losing streak and miss the playoffs lol.
Jozkoooooo2
So we have 2 centers now😀👌
WeathervaneJesus1
It’s a lot better than what they got last TDL. Move him before he gets injured again.
DivinePotatoe
He will now and forever be known as Sean “Two Firsts” Monahan.
May his trade tree be eternal.
IcyChard4
Other than I previously said, the NYR weren’t on the Habs’ list of potential trade partners for Monahan. I guess the rift between Jeff Gorton and Chris Drury was a factor.
zzzzoooo
I’m bit disappointed. I hoped something better than a 1st pick. Did Chariot and Tiffoli fetch us a 1st too ? Tatar once was traded for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd, right ?
Electrical_Analyst65
I have a feeling KH bit on the 1st because he needs it to do something else. Combine it with the Calgary pick and a dman and you could be looking at a good return.
McHamelin
Not retaining any salary also. So we still have one more slot for that this season.
kebekoy
Très bien. Bravo les Habs.
cmonwhy
Great asset management!
lwitchermode
And theres no salary retain!! Yayyy
Hinya
The side of me that wants Monahan to win a cup and the side of me that doesn’t want a Canadian team to win the cup before us are fighting.
Nevertheless, a good return. Monahan will be missed dearly. Really were hoping for a prospect, but oh well.
hockeynoticehockey
KH isn’t finished. My gut tells me we won’t have Winnipeg’s first after the TDL.
