I'd be suprised if the Habs would include RHP in a deal at this time. While the deal is quite reasonable for the 1st pick, a 2nd and a 4th plus a good prospect who doesn't cost that much for a player who got picked in the 7th round, but has proven he's worth more than that in his first season, and a Center who is mostly injured regardless of his talent I think the team wants to keep RHP and see his full potential. He got 2 more points than Joseph with 22 less game and looks like something of a steal right now.
I'd be more along the lines that Ottawa may provide a 2nd pick for Monahan and that's it.., maybe a 1st if he plays enough games to show something more and indicates no signs of radical injury again. But I would guess they's provide that for the 24-25 draft since their current season is up in the air as to if they'll have a top tier team of a bottom team. If they include it for the 23-24 draft, I would expect a top 15 protection from them with unprotected for 24-25 or 25-25 draft if it becomes that.
Note that I would be happy if Hugues accepts this deal you proposed, just don't think Ottawa should be paying that much, and Habs don't seem to want to see RHP go elsewhere.Especially in Ottawa where it could bite them in the butt ..
