Idk if Mtl really needs two more average Dman in the pipeline... However, WIN do need a top4 RD, so J.Barron in WIN is an interresting idea to explore imo

habs need some future top 6 F, one that can score and ik that jets got 2 of em.

I think I speak for all Habs fans when I say, easy pass for Montreal. You need to swap those prospects for something we actually need. A bust and 2 LHD are certainly not something we are interested in. Maybe something more along the lines of McGroarty + Barlow for Monahan + Barron

Jets are paying way too much.
This does nothing to help the Jets
Zero interest in Monahan

With how the Jets are playing they have no incentive to consider overpaying for bad and unneeded players.

Montreal takes this and runs.

Very, very easy pass by Montreal. Stanley and Kupari don't have any value to Montreal and Montreal arguably already has way too many LD prospects like Heinola.

I didn't make this ACGM, but looking at their lineup, I thought Winnipeg biggest need is a 2C.

I get that you love to hate on MTL players, but realistically, after Lindholm (he's not getting traded to the Jets), the best C available at TDL is Monahan.

So hate all you want, but i'm sure Chevaldayoff would love to add Monahan at TDL.

And since he'll cost about 500K for the remaining of the season, i'm sure Jets owners would love it too.

Yeah, why would the jets want a top 6 center with Scheifele out and them fighting for a playoff spot? Then why would they want to add a top 4 RHD to slot in on their 2nd pairing with Dillon? yeah this totally does nothing to help the Jets (other than make them a better more complete team, but why would you want that?)

We do need a top 6 C…. problem is, Monahan isn’t one
Barron isn’t top 4 in WPG

Don't argue logically with them, it's the linchpin to their whole basis of arguments.

You can hope and wish that happens, but as you said Winnipeg needs a 2C and Monahan isn't that. He's a massive downgrade on Winnipeg's current 2C Namestnikov and Chevy obviously knows that.

That pushes Monahan to the bottom 6. He's awful defensively as well as a slow bad skater, so he has no chance of replacing Lowry. That puts Monahan on the 4th line and with only 8 ES points playing first line minutes, he's only a lateral move for someone on the 4th line.

So, why should Winnipeg risk the chemistry of a team that is playing well to overpay for a bad player that adds nothing?

I don't hate on Montreal players, just all of their plentiful bad ones that they try to push on other teams for exorbitant prices, like they are trying to do here.

I would like to give Barron a chance to play in Winnipeg but not this year unless we have injuries on the RHD.

No way is Winnipeg giving up a 1st for Monahan at this point. That 1st would be better used on Lindholm.

LMAO, Scheifele may be out long term after the injury last night, who is gonna fill his spot? Rumors are that the Jets were already looking for a top 6 center even before the Scheifele injury. Monahan is literally 42nd in scoring amongst all centers in the league. Considering there are 64 top 6 centers in the league, he is definitely a top 6 center.

As for Barron, he is better than you let on, he very well may be placed below Pionk on the D corps but that doesn't make him a bottom pairing guy, it just means that the Jets RD depth would be vastly improved.

FYI, Scheifele is day-to-day according to Bowness (comments made just after you made your post). He may play vs PHI.

Unfortunately being 42nd in scoring for a centerman doesn't make you a top 6 center in the league. That would make Lowry and Namestnikov top 6 also. Lowry is our 3rd line center period and Namestnikov granted he is playing over expections can play in all game situations.

good news!

That's great news for the Jets and more importantly Scheifele (always liked him)



Monahan also plays all situations and is extremely good at faceoffs, he also isn't as bad defensively as what some people seem to think he is.

So Winnipeg pays a 1st for a guy who is just equal to Lowry and Namestnikov?

Both Lowry and Namestnikov are far better than Monahan. They score at the same pace as Monahan in less minutes and their scoring isn't totally dependent on PP1 time. Not to mention that they're better skaters, faster and better defensively.
