It’s a disgrace Sean Monahan was injured final 12 months, as he would have been an actual bargaining chip.
This summer season, he signed a really useful contract for the staff, and to date, he’s been wholesome. Contact wooden. Wholesome, with a $1.985 million payroll: the middle might be of curiosity to a number of groups in view of the commerce deadline.
Sportsnet ‘s Luke Foxwrote about the subject a couple of days in the past.
Adam Oates saves Luke Schenn’s profession, David Pastrnak finds his voice, Maple Leafs commerce choices (and so they’re not defensemen) plus 9 extra NHL goodies on this version of @lukefoxjukebox‘s Fast Shifts. https://t.co/WZPJW9Dds2

He’s been within the combine for Nikita Zadorov, and plenty of consider that Chris Tanev is now the GM’s important goal. And he is aware of Tanev: he’s the one who signed him in Calgary.
Monahan is clearly not a defenseman, and given the Leafs’ offensive punch, one can legitimately surprise why they is perhaps interested by a Habs middle.
In his text, Fox states that Max Domi isn’t good defensively and having a man like Monahan on the third line can be very fascinating. By buying Monahan, Sheldon Keefe might begin utilizing Domi in a extra offensive position on the top-6. Alex Wennberg and Adam Henrique are two different guys who might be on Brad Treliving’s radar, in response to Fox.
Mony’s defensive sport is clearly certainly one of his important belongings. However on a staff just like the Leafs, the place there’s no scarcity of offense, the Habs middle wouldn’t be too disoriented. Certainly, previous to tonight’s video games, he was the staff’s main scorer and fourth on the staff in factors (17 factors in 29 video games).
With the Leafs, he’d be sixth…
In brief, he’d be an ideal addition. What might Kent Hughes ask for in return?
