agree to disagree - teams might pony up a 1st for Bo Horvat or Patty Kane, but if I'm looking for a middle-6 upgrade and the Habs are digging their heels in about getting back a 1st, I can easily just pivot to a guy like Max Domi and get similar production for a lesser price.

Also gonna push back on his "crappy linemates" - at even strength his top 4 most common partners are Suzuki, Caufield, Anderson, & Dadonov. 2 of those are Montreal's core guys, one of those is a guy that I've been told time and time again is worth a 1st++, and one of those is admittedly terrible.

One of the more reasonable posts....and trade value for the Leafs going for it. And certainly wouldn't mind adding a veteran Dman like Jensen. But right now, Holl is the Leafs best Dman, and he is now the 7th Dman?

No retention maybe. Sean will fetch a 1st rd pick and a top prospect at the TDL.

If he's not fetching a first, it makes more sense for Montreal to focus on re-signing him.

And Monahan has played just over a 5th of the season with Suzuki and Caufield, they usually don't play together.

i mean, you can very clearly click that link that shows what lines Sean Monahan has played at 5v5. obviously he's bounced around the lineup and played with a plethora of linemates but i don't know how you can tell me i have my facts wrong when the numbers literally say that, to date, the line he has been a part of the most at 5v5 is with Suzuki & Caufield. will that change if he's no longer playing with them? obviously, yes, but the fact is that today, November 28th, 2022, that is the line he has spent the most 5v5 time with. i don't know how you're arguing against a black and white fact like this.

imagine getting paid a 1st to take a guy and then getting mad when someone offers a 2nd and a good prospect for him three months later
