I would actively campaign for Fitz to be fired if he traded a 1st for two fourth liners. McLeod is better and cheaper than Monahan.

They should trade for a goalie or a Ld, not for Mony and Pearson

Ain’t no way you actually think Mcleod is better

Wut?? In what realm is McLeod better than Monahan? Healthier, sure. But please elaborate on how he’s a better player….

Seems like an overpayment

Hischier, Mcleod, Haula, Nosek, and Lazar are all elite faceoff men.

Also the least shocking thing was checking this post and seeing it came from a habs fan.

Devils aren't paying a 1st for 2 rental 4th line wingers

Say you're extremely biased without saying you're extremely biased...

No, it’s not an overpayment but it’s a trade New Jersey would not do. Other teams would jump on that

Palat, Holtz, Hughes, meier, Mercer, Haula, Hischier, Bratt, Toffoli>>>

Mcleod is staying at 4C. locked in. Not paying a first for two rental 4th liners who aren't good defensively

I like Pearson but not for that. Also Yes good idea trade Miller and lets have have Smith still take minutes, also you understand two rookie Dmen on a very unexperienced Dcore is not good. nice over the cap, and you want a first LOL your only getting a first if you retain on both like you see the cap and just ignore it

This 👆, NJD is just a bad fit, but other playoff teams looking for depth would be lining up for this. BOS comes to mind.

Not good defensively… Meanwhile they are literally elite defensively since the start of the season. And Monahan > Haula btw

6 games. haula bettah. Perhaps there was a reason monahan was a 1st round cap dump and couldn't get a deal worth more than 2 million on a poverty team

6 games, 5 pts, second in the league for faceoffs. There was a reason he was dumped (6m and bad play in Calgary’s fourth line). There is also a reason he signed for 2m. That reason is injuries.

Yeah I don't want an injury prone player. Faceoffs aren't meaningful and the devils have
Mcleod: 61% last year and 62% this year, 57% career
Nosek: 59% last year and 55% career
Nico: 56% this year, 54% last year, and 54% over the last 5 years
Haula: 54% this year, and 54%+ each of the last 4 years
Lazar also at 50%
Hughes and Mercer are also quality centermen.

There is no need for injury prone monahan. Let me make this clear. Unless you're planning on offering Slaf, Newhook, or Caufield at dirt cheap prices, the devils have no interest in any of the canadians forwards.

And unless you're offering Kovacevic dirt cheap, the devils have no interest in any of the canadians dmen

He's analytically bad-mid. And can't stay healthy. Doesn't play in our top 9 and don't want him in a bottom line role

The devils have no need for him, but he is better than Haula and Mcleod for sure. Teams will rush to offer a first for him. You are so biased it’s unbelievable



He stayed healthy for now. And he totally play in your top 9 over Haula, but having Haula has a fourth liner make no sense. Again, this deal is more than fair but the Devils have 0 need for a forward. They need a LD tho

6 healthy games!!! wow. He doesn't play over haula.

If teams were rushing to pay a 1st for monahan he would have gotten more than 2 million dollars hope this helps. And if you're claiming Monahan took a discount to stay in montreal, that's garbage considering he knows that they are trying to ship him out regardless, so why not pick his destination

He plays over Haula. He is far better in any way.

He took 2m because he was injured last season. How hard is it to understand?

Yes he's injury prone. Also worse defensively than haula.

Last 100 games:

Monahan: 16 g 45 points
Haula: 21 goals 52 points

So haula better defensively, more consistent, better locker room presence, better analytically, and more productive offensively.

Wow, if you couple the first that teams are rushing to offer for monahan, coupled with the one you got for him, edmundson, dvorak, savard, etc, combined with the massive hauls Josh Anderson, Barron, Xhekaj, etc etc are apparently worth, you could get a lot of assets for this awful team

So you are taking the stats with Calgary when he was playing fourth line and getting bench. Funny. And he is better defensively, more consistent (no clue why you think he isn’t), a big locker room guy, better at faceoffs, better at pace. Better this season, better last season. He once putted up over a ppg. He was a consistent 60 pts C and he returned to that level with the habs.

Edmunson healthy would have gotten a firsr. Dvorak got a first. Savard too. Anderson is worth a second. Barron is worth a first just like Lundkvist was. Xhekaj won’t be traded unless a first is offered

Sorry I don't want to use a 31 game sample size.

Haula's last 25 regular season games last year

9 goals 17 points

once again better offensive production. In both raw and advanced numbers. The metrics all favour haula. Who also has missed just 10 games in the last 3 years
