    I love it. Holds us over at centre and hopefully this time he’s healthy enough to be traded to a contender at the deadline. Great signing.

  3. RyanWalts

    Very happy with this gamble! Not a big contract if he’s injured, but great chance to give him another shot at a healthy season.

    Fingers crossed he can finally put it together and play at least 60-70 games.

  4. ignominieux

    Great news. Monahan is one of the most likeable guys in the NHL. Let’s hope he can play close to a full season.

  5. Snoopy_021

    Reasonable deal. If Monahan steers clear of injuries, it would be a quite good deal.

  6. bosomarly

    At this salary its a good move, hopefully he can stay healthy until the TDL

  7. a-ruudz

    Great 1 year deal. Really good for the team when healthy

  8. Fezthepez

    If he can stay healthy, then he’s a great asset to have for 2 million. Good low risk signing.

  9. Frenchsoupe

    Great value for us! If Monahan can stay healthy this is a steal, especially if we can flip him at the deadline!

  10. NinjaGoalie97

    Sean Monahab! I like it, rooting for the guy. Really hope he can stay healthy, he was good for us in that time when he was

  11. ChefDalvin

    He was really effective and a good vet for the young guys when he was healthy. Even if he doesn’t get a full season in he’ll be an excellent asset for development

  12. Eazy3006

    This makes me happy !! I liked him very much and I found he was a really good fit with this team.

    Good on the management to give him a second chance.

  13. anxiousnl

    Good contract, good player. Just hope he gets back in time for the playoffs (if we make it) after he inevitably gets hurt. At that price you can’t go wrong though.

  14. stonayoung

    Ladies and gentlemen, our alternate captain for a lot of next season

    Here is to a healthy one!

  15. flepine44

    LFG ! Monhy for less than 2m is amazing. Hope he’s injury-free

  16. Sultan_Of_Ping

    That’s a cheap gamble, especially for a guy we could then easily flip at the deadline.

  17. Thaddeauz

    I didn’t expect him to sign this low, I’m pleasantly surprised. I guess that mean Dach is back on the wing of Suzuki and Caufield next season or Dvorak is traded.

  18. toturoll

    low risk high reward deal. he had a great start and was on a pace for a 55-point season before getting injured. we just have to hope he can stay healthy for this season.

  19. Philly514

    Great deal, either helps us compete or gets us a pick. Win-win!

  20. Even if he doesn’t stay healthy this is a good deal. If he plays 40+ games that will be extremely good value. Hope he stays healthy.

  21. idontplaypolo

    1st round pick at the deadline is back on the menu boys!

  22. sean_psc

    Good deal, hopefully it works out for both parties.

    I feel like Hughes is going to have to move at least one bottom six forward in the off-season now.

  23. Fantastic! And we just became less likely to overpay for PLD. (I actually want PLD but was afraid that we would be lressured into overpaying).

  24. WintertimeLivingEasy

    I feel like he wanted to stay here, he would’ve sign for more elsewhere, that’s pretty amazing for a guy who can do it all.

  25. ApokatastasisPanton

    At that price it’s a bargain.

  26. They must like where he’s at health wise. I’m pretty pumped for more Monahab honestly.

  27. Melodic-Bug-9022

    Flames fan here.

    I’m glad he’s gotten a contract for next year and I’m hoping he has a great year for y’all. Deep down I really wanted Conroy to bring Monahan back as he’s such a good guy in the room and I think losing him hurt us more than people want to admit.

  28. Sciencepol1983

    Such a great news this morning, really happy to see him come back at such a low price tag.

  29. Beepimaj3ep

    That’s a win for both parties. I hope he can play full season.

  30. patismyname

    That means we now have Suzuki, Dach, Dvorak, Monahan and Evans that can play C. It can be a break glass scenario but one can assume Dvorak is on his way out no?

  31. DivinePotatoe

    Looks like toast is back on the menu boys!

  32. 514link

    The downwards slide last year can be traced to Monahan bring in some voodoo doctors and get him 100%

  33. Sharks9

    Great gamble! This also means we’ll probably see some forward trades soon. 13 forwards signed already with RHP and Ylonen as RFAs

  34. dadoudelidou

    Do i remember correctly that Monahan and Slaf played a few games together last year and it was a really good tandem ? Where we’ve seen the most of our young recruit ?

  35. dangerdunk

    Great move! Super guy in the room, and if healthy, productive up front. Love this from Hughes…..

  36. Great contract, wishing him good health for the season

  37. eriverside

    Super happy about this. Mony and Dach was awesome. I want to see Slaf with them.

    It’s a bargain.
