What are Habs fans saying about the Sean Monahan contract?
Nice move by the Habs. Monahan should be able to easily flip at the NHL trade deadline for a pick if he isn’t hurt again.
I hope we get 60-70 games out of him. But it will be more like 40.
This Monahan contract makes no sense. This re-signing makes no sense. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is traded in July! Why would he take less?
