Lol just about every insiders was suggesting Monahan would return a 1st. Once Lindholm was off the market it was a forgone conclusion Edited February 3 by qwijjibo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m stoked Dear lord I’m glad we didn’t spend a 1st on Monahan of note at time of VAN trade JT Miller who was far beyond what Monahan is now went for a 1st and third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Welp, the Jets just got a lot more boring And a little icing on the cake, Oilers two biggest rivals have ended up with Kuz. Maybe if Joey's upgrades their menu, he might move up north some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckpuckluck1 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 18 hours ago, Strawbone said: Comparing the trades, one difference is that Monahan needs to bump someone down the lineup on the Jets, while Lindholm slots right in replacing an unproductive player. Might be an easier/better fit for Vancouver. forget the value of the trades. the Canucks got 100% the player they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will find out how well he fits in a couple days. Would have like to see him play with EP today. Not real value to see EP play with anyone else.

Diamonds Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Monahan should be a great addition to Winnipeg. Adam Lowry is a fantastic shutdown center but really didn't have the offense for 2nd line center. Bringing in Monahan will allow Lowry to play an almost exclusive matchup role while Monahan should be able to help boost the offense of Ehlers/Perfetti. Head-to-head Lindholm is a better player than Monahan, but I do think Monahan fits Winnipeg's need really well. The Winnipeg vs Vancouver matchup should be really interesting and fun to watch. Vancouver has the higher octane offense but I think Winnipeg plays slightly better defensively as a team. Both teams have elite goaltending with Hellebuyck probably just slightly edging out Demko for the Vezina if voting were today. It should make for a great series if we have a chance to play each other in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I feel like one thing almost no one seems to be mentioning is how Kent Hughes just got a 1st round pick for an asset he paid nothing for. Like literally, Monahan was originally traded WITH a conditional 1st round pick for future considerations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually played really well in Montreal and was a great mentor to their young forwards. There was zero downside for Montreal in the moves (other than the lost cap space for 1 season) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) On 2/2/2024 at 6:48 PM, Coryberg said: The 3rd round pick is only if the Jets win the cup. That is pie in the sky. Not only that, 2 seconds would have been a worse deal for them straight across. Win or lose. Only a couple/few firsts get traded a season these days - this was a good trade for both teams.

NoCupSyndrome Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Will be interesting to see how this plays out in the playoffs. Will Monahan get exposed a bit and Lindholm's skill set stand out or will the regular season trend continue? Still hopeful Lindholm will find his footing and play huge dividends in the playoffs where key match-ups become significantly more important.

I'd much rather this team (already full of stars) to have gone out and gotten a couple of nice depth pieces than one more star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone upset about that doesn't understand Lindholms defensive value when the much harder games happen in April. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, match-ups are key in the playoffs, definitely where Lindholm could pay off in a significant way. Create a pure D line that then frees up the Miller and EP lines (or a line that combines EP and Miller). However, I don't think Tocc has found the right winger combos yet. Still a work in progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
