The Jets agreed to sending their first-round pick in this year’s NHL draft and a conditional third-round pick in 2027 to the Canadiens for Sean Monahan. TSN’s Hockey analyst Jamie McLennan joins SportsCentre to discuss the deal, and if it was worth the cost to acquire Monahan.

Yes
Bros a 3c
No way
Good price, late first rounder
He was a #6 overall pick, so to give a LATE 1st round pick, it's fair trade
Leafs ahead of Jets to win the cup????? Don't think so. If he stays healthy he'll be good on face-off wins and on the PP which is much needed! Go Jets go!
As a Jets fan absolutely. 2nd rounder the latest.
Again, the Rangers blew it…
Another Good GM doing his job and making his team better. I feel sad for all the Maple Leaf fans. Montreal got 2 first rounder's for Monahan. They got the other First round pick from Treliving when he was GM in Calgary. Treliving traded Monahan and First round pick to Montreal for Futures, Lol . this guy is now the GM of the Leaf's and for the first time in years, they may not even make the playoffs. Treliving is not very good at doing his job. He probably is still trying to get a top 4 D for a 6th round draft pick, lol The time to upgrade the defence was right after training camp when the cost was low to obtain one. Now you can say goodbye to this years first round draft pick. It will be packaged off with Robertson.
Yes he blows
No, Mr. Golden Goal and one of the best to ever play definitely wouldn't make the olympic team 🙄
LOL, every team that didn't get him, didn't want to go all in. This was a LOW 1st round pick. Totally worth it, Jets got a 2rd freebie, from Montreal for PLD anyways that will be close to this 1st round pick anyways.
Did the Jets overpay ? Not really cause we are talking about a player with injuries history with a contract who finish the year, but also a player who played center and on the wing and as an excellent year ! Great character too. If it wasn't for the injuries, it would also come with a second pick or a good prospect ! I've seen him play all year, Winnipeg did good, excellent acquisition ! I hope he will sign back in Montréal this summer…
Winnipeg already owns Montreal's second round pick from the PLD trade that's like 6-8 picks after the one they just traded. Jets have extra picks to trade and didn't even give up a prospect for a player outproducing Lindholm.
1 million hit to the cap and Jets have Montreal's 2nd pick and gave up nobody. Good trade…..
I feel like we are being gaslighted. Montreal did not steal a Brinks truck in this deal. I kinda feel we lost a bit the deal. But the media heads are gushing for Hughes or this drivel. Weird.
Fair trade, even an underpay. Monahan has been great for the Habs all year, slots in to any line and makes his linemates better. Toronto misinformation everywhere lol
Giving up a late 1st for a guy who can play 2nd line center is a fine deal.
What are you talking about costly. A late 1st , thats reasonable. Its not a top 5 or 10 pick
Thanks Jamie. I’ve been saying exactly that since the minute I heard about it.
Of course Monahan is a bum. Like the entirety of the Habs team. He was one if not the worse. They overplayed heavy. He’s worth the 2nd in 27 at most.
Overpaid? Lolololol typical Toronto Sports Network nonsense.
If he stays healthy it will be a good pick up for the Jets.
No they didn’t. A late round 1st rounder is a crap shoot. Even if that players works out well in the future for MTL this is the player we need now.
For me it's hard to say, but I think if I was a Jets fan I'd be ok with it. He's having a great year with the Habs, despite the team having a bad year. But he's third in ice time per game amongst forwards for them. I imagine he'll get less ice time with the Jets, so his production might dip. Their powerplay really needs help, looks like he's been one of Montreal's best powerplay guys so if he can help get that going it'd be big for them.
A proven nhl player for some magic beans. Did the jets overpay. Lol. No.
Habs could have got more imho
Chevy is a moron, loves paying high on mediocre players
Awesome move chevy
1rst round pick was really high pick and similar to a 2nd round pick. The price was key 2mill is a steal, and allows Jets to get the great D-man. We are only concerned about injuries and a little about his +/- I like it so far, go Chevy we believe. All goes well we can offer a 3 year deal to Monahan at the end of the season.
Monahan is a very good player with known qualities – high percentage face offs – scoring and play making abilities – well liked and respected in the locker room. The first round draft choice is a gamble – some players do great and some do not.
good trade both side. gonna help montreal nosesive int he standings for next weeks
Good luck to the Jets, and let's see who Sean plays for next year.
I think when deadline gets closer youll see overpays this isnt one.
Now that Monahan,Lindholm off market Henrique,Guentzel and other top targets Hanifin,Roslovic,Chychrun,Tanev,kuzmenko,Walker go for im sure someone will do a deal like Tampa/Jeannot
Was crazy overpay Foote+1st+2nd+3rd+4th+5th
No.
Its gonna be pick #32 so no big deal
