Minnesota isn't interested in Monahan, especially not for that price.

Minnesota has zero interest in Sean Monahan. It's been rated about. Our gm doesn't like Sean Monahan, and it's been reported including this summer he doesn't want him including that Sean Monahan has character issues. Sean Monahan value also currently doesn't have that much

Dube isn’t the kind of player that’s added for cap purposes.

What character issues


It was reported by Minnesota's beat writer Michael Russo that Sean Monahan has character issues and that because of this, it's why gm Guerin didn't want him , and that other teams had character questions about Sean Monahan

That was Kuznetsov he was talking about. Get your facts strait. Guerin just doesn't want Monahan because he's a defensive liability.

That wasn't Kuznetsov. In the article he specified Sean Monahan . He didn't need to bs about Kuznetsov. He was blunt about Kuznetsov

I think there have been rumors/speculation that Monahan has some issues in the same way Greenway does. Commitment to doing everything it takes, motivation, effort kind of issues. I can't confirm that they're true or not. I know a friend of mine is a Flames fan and he's sometimes frustrated with Monahan because a lot of the times it looks like he's pretty lackadaisical on the ice. When you look at players like Kaprizov and Rossi, who Guerin loves, they're always giving it 100%, and I think the idea is that Monahan is not that type.

Kuznetsov has a whole different set of issues.

I didn't make anything up. I said they were rumors/speculations that I've heard over the years, and couldn't confirm they're true.

Character issues is a broad term. I was providing specifics that I have heard speculated on over the years on what those character issues are. But regardless of any of that, none of us can actually confirm any of these issues. That's why even Russo said:

"fair or not, there’s a perception out there in the hockey community that his character is a question mark."

Fair or not, it's just a perception

Alright, but inconsistency and lack of effort issues are not CHARACTER issues. Saying someone has character issues implies that they are either a lockerroom cancer or have known off ice issues. One does not mean the other, as the two are not the same or have the same meaning.

I mean it wasn't me. It was Russo that said fair , or not there is questions about Sean's Monahan's character. Russo has, and was admament Sean Monahan is a player bill Guerin never had any interest in. On his podcast as soon Sean's Monahan's name was brought up, Russo would smirk, and quickly shut it down by saying no

A lack of effort, more commonly known as poor work ethic, is very much a character issue at the NHL level. It's a character trait. Marco Rossi is a great example of the flip side. He has a very strong work ethic when it comes to his job, which is hockey. He modifies his entire life, his eating habits, sleeping habits, gym routine, to getting better at hockey. If a guy doesn't want to put in the most effort he can to be the best he can, that's a character issue. Wanting to put in the minimum amount of work to collect the paycheck and go home and do something else becomes a character issue at this level.

Wanting to forego an optional workout on a weekend to go clubbing and do cocaine in a hotel room is also a character issue.
Sleeping in and missing a team meeting because you would rather stay up til 5AM playing Fortnite than taking your career seriously is a character issue.
That's why I said "character issues" is a broad term. There a lot of different ways character issues manifest, but all of these issues stem from certain character traits players either have or lack.

Dube is there as a young roster forward worth a 1st, not for cap reasons.

It would probably have to be a 3-way trade to begin with sonce Monahan probably wont waive directly to Buffalo. Sabres could retain part of his deal though to get more value
