Description
Going to get flamed by both fan bases for this one. Monahan is great but he has massive health concerns mtl fans which can't be denied. Monahan at this exact moment is worth a 2nd to me and would need to stay healthy and keep on the defensive play and get more offense to be worth a 1st
Trades
WPG
  1. Monahan, Sean
  2. Savard, David
Additional Details:
Jets get Monahan who at the time of creation is borderline worth a first atm with major injury concerns which definitely hurts his value as who wants to pay a 1st for a guy that doesn't play for you. Mtl fans have to realize sure he's been amazing when he plays but that's when he's actually healthy and keeps up the pace he's at. For this trade he goes for the first but the jets also swap Schmidt for Savard who is a stanley cup champ and physical rhd.
MTL
  1. Schmidt, Nate
  2. 2024 1st round pick (WPG)
Additional Details:
First is conditional on jets making the playoffs and Monahan playing more than 50% of games (no condition on making next round similar to the riley nash trade to Toronto a couple years ago)

Canadiens get a first round pick for Monahan which he definitely could be or couldn't be come deadline. Schmidt goes back to mtl as a veteran replacement for Savard who is a great locker room guy and could be a great partner for kovacevic.

Losing Savard hurts too much MTL defensive core
The trade proposal above is more than fair, but the fact that Savard is a good mentor, great locker room guy and the only RHD who can play tough minutes makes it hard for Hughes too accept. Matheson-Guhle-Harris-Xhekaj-Schmidt, this is a tons of LHD while thin on RHD

Schmidt can play both sides as well and provides a similar role as Savard but more offensive and less physical defensively (blocks, hits, etc) I feel it's fair as Savard is a better playoff player than Schmidt but aren't too far off but Savard has lower cap. Monahan is doing worse than last year at this time so I don't think he's worth a first unless the market for him expands drastically

What makes me bullish on Monahan returning a 1st (if healthy obviously) is that he would be either the best or second best (if Lindholm is made available by Calgary) centre option at the TDL. Contending teams are always keen on adding centre depth and especially if that player is as versatile as Monahan who can play just as ably on the wing of skill players like Suzuki and Caufield or centre a hard-nosed checking line with the likes of Gallagher and Pearson. I don't see anything but a 1st or equivalent prospect being enough to make MTL sell unless there is truly no market (which would be a surprise).

The second part I dislike about that trade is adding Schmidt for Savard. MTL aren't looking to add LHD whether veteran or otherwise and subtracting a RHD for a LHD on top of adding $2.5m in cap nest season just isn't appealing in the least.

I think the Jets would need to pay assets to get rid of Schmidt.

I dont watch the Jets a lot so maybe he is great defensively and i dont know, but 6 mil AAV for a guy with 1 point in 17 games, thats a lot of money.

I doubt he'll be the 2nd best center as teams don't exactly have people available now vs at the deadline. Monahan may get a 1st but it's not just Monahan would have to include something else as well as the pick obviously conditional on Monahan healthy for playoffs
