Controversial Situation with Sean Monahan?
Acquired for free from the Calgary Flames, forward Sean Monahan has struggled the past two seasons with injuries to both hips.
Now 100% recovered, he has been on fire since his debut with the CH, with three points in five games.
Kent Hughes' initial plan was to keep his fingers crossed that he would have a good season in order to trade him at a high price at the trade deadline.
But could he sign him for the long term instead? Remember that he is only 28 years old.
Here is Jean-Charles Lajoie's prediction, during his show on TVA Sports:
« Kent Hughes' Plan A is to "kosher in" by re-signing him to another team at the trade deadline. But he can make the organization think so hard to change the plan. My prediction is that he will average a point per game at the trade deadline. That means there will be huge offers for Monahan if he stays healthy. That's something to watch. But I can also see Monahan getting along with the Canadiens long term. He is so much in the team's DNA.
It would take a huge offer to get him out of Montreal if things continue to go well for him," said Lavoie. He wants to start a family. He's happy to be playing in the East. I can't wait to see how this file will progress. A lot of teams are dreaming of him being available at the trade deadline."
