Latest developments on a potential Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs trade

After many people believed Brad Treliving, the Leafs' GM, would look into getting defensemen or a goalie ahead of the deadline, rumors are starting to emerge concerning another trade target: Montreal Canadiens' Sean Monahan.

A new report by TSN suggests that Sean Monahan could be traded by the Montreal Canadiens.

However, as you may be aware, Kent Hughes, the Habs' GM, doesn't trade away players unless the price is right.

Considering the Canadiens are playing surprisingly well and many rumors suggest they might try to qualify for the playoffs instead of tanking like in recent years, they might not even consider parting ways with him.

If the Maple Leafs intend to get Monahan, they'll need to make the right offer. His $2,000,000 AAV contract makes him even more valuable. What could help the Leafs' case is Brad Treliving. Being the Flames' former GM, where Monahan spent most of his career, could come in handy for Toronto.

Do you think the Maple Leafs should target Sean Monahan at the deadline?
