Fair deal on both sides imo. Jets have Montreals 2nd from the PLD trade anyway so we are probably gonna only slide 10-15 picks outside of the first. Excellent asset management from both sides. Jets don’t need a first this year with how well we have drafted. Would rather pay this price than what the Canucks paid for a dude who hasn’t scored a goal in almost half the season.
Heh. Lindholm plays against top lines and is a Selke caliber defensive center.
Monahan plays against 2nd and 3rd lines, and oh my he is not. And half his points come on the PP, he does precious little 5v5 against mid competition.
Ignore that, he's a 50 PT 2nd line center making 2 Million. That's why he's worth a 1st.
Look at his 5v5 numbers, though. Congrats on the 1st, but it's an overpay before we even get to his health considerations. Like I said, though, I'm all for this trade on every level. I love it.

Aha lets just ignore the facts eh. Take a look at Monahan 5v5 and see what impact hes making.. Its so mid and he doesnt play against elite competition. Gives up more than he generates, will he even play PP in Wpg? Likely not..
The ONLY reason Monahan is getting this type of return is due to limited options on the market, there just isnt that many Centers available.
How can you possibly vote Jets here.. Were talking about a guy the Flames payed a 1st to get rid of, and is not a game breaker by any means.
This trade makes me love the Lindholm add so much more lol.
The value of a player currently is not always tied to their value in the past.
Players' performance and circumstances change and cause their value to fluctuate.
Winnipeg isn't losing anything because Monahan was a cap dump a couple of years ago. That's just not part of the equation for them.
He was a $5M injured player on a cap strapped team. Now he's a $2M healthy player that is performing well.
Those two players are very different in value.
Monahan has 46% of his points on the pp.. doubt he is good enough to be on the Jets pp.... feels like a horrible trade considering Vancouver got Lindholm
