Thread: What is the best Monahan trade for Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>westcoasthabslifer</b></div><div>I wasn’t even going to post, but I can’t just not reply with the only takes here being so off. I think any of those teams would be excellent to target. A 2025 pick might actually end up being the best result I’d want that from Pittsburgh, Washington or Islanders as I think they’ll continue on the decline. He is absolutely worth a first round pick, saying anything to the contrary is laughable. Just look at what goes for a 1st at the deadline. There’s absolutely no way he goes for less than that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YesThisIsFlo</b></div><div>The Monahan for a 1st dream is so funny to me, I'd be shocked if he gets that return.

Obviously he has a massive track record of injuries, so what playoff team is going to rely on him to be available through a playoff grind?

He also has half his points on the powerplay, where he wouldn't get a sniff on other teams.

A team acquiring him would be getting him as an injury-prone bottom 6 center with limited penalty kill experience (only ever PKd in MTL). I don't see teams giving up a 1st for that/</div></div>

Cmon man. One 5on5 goal in 15 games doesn’t do it for ya?

Thread: Kuzmenko for
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reason</b></div><div>Bear certainly isn't, he's probably a #5 on a good blueline, fringe top 4. Zub is probably a number 3, but is totally capable to playing on the top pair without looking out of place and would be a great compliment to a more offensive minded partner. If the team had the following blueline I think it would put them in a position where they could win a few rounds in the playoffs (still not a contender):

Hughes - Zub
Cole - Hronek
Soucy - Bear

With Hronek getting a large raise in the offseason, adding a cap controlled player like Zub makes the blueline cost more palatable for what's going to continue to be a cap crunched team.</div></div>

Zub is not a top-pairing defenseman, perhaps he can make it work in short bursts, but he's been eaten alive analytically even in just a Top-4 role. Add in the fact that at 28 he's only played one full NHL season, he's decidedly not worth Kuzmenko 1 for 1. If the Senators are wanting Top-6 support, I'd maybe move Garland + mid pick/prospect for him. But given Zub's injury history, I think there's better options on the market.

Besides that, Bear played excellently with Hughes last season. It's cheaper for the Canucks to move out cap space to re-sign Bear than to lose Kuzmenko.
