Thread: Everyone is Doing Tanev Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>The reason I think he doesn't trade his 1st a year early is for two reasons:
1. Uncertainty. If the Jets have a rash of injuries in 24-25 (like VGK did a couple of season ago) then a strong team misses the playoff and that pick is in the teens.
2. MTL's 2nd in 2024 is good trade chip. Currently it is 39 overall and that pick is going to get higher as MTL is getting worse without Monahan.

Edit: I'll add a third point. Lebrun said that the ask for Tanev 2nd RD pick + another asset</div></div>

I'm willing to take the risk with the injury bug considering how well the team played without top 6 guys at different points. And I also included the first due to the retention. Retention usually increased the cost.

Thread: next two months
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanMerc</b></div><div>He’s not a top 6 anything in WPG… he’s a bottom 6… at best
Every one of our current Cs are better than him at everything except faceoffs.
Monahan is hugely overrated and over valued on these boards by Hab fans and people who like how he “Used to” play

Had so many delusional Hab fans try to shove him down our throat the last month, I honestly wouldn’t take him for free now just because I’m sick of him.
He would take cap money we should be spending somewhere else.
He would take a roster spot we should be giving to someone else.
Other than faceoffs, there is absolutely nothing he brings we don’t already have.
If I was the Jets owner and Chevy traded for Monahan, I’d fire him immediately…on the spot.

Montreal has no leverage. The best they can get is a 4th round pick.
