I'm glad the era of Stevens like players is gone, quite frankly.

Seems like a fun night.

For me, there’s no question, if Sean Monahan stays healthy, he has to be traded and hopefully for a first rounder at July’s draft. Don’t get me wrong, I like Monahan, he’s a great player but he’s 28 and he has a lot of wear and tear. At 28, how much mileage does he have left? At his age, he’s going to be looking for a long-term deal and not for a couple of years pact. The Canadiens have been burnt before by keeping hold of their players too long, just look at Price and Weber, no, there’s no sense in keeping Monahan.


I get what you're saying Karine, but if Monahan's most serious health issues are now basically behind him, I'd say he could be a pretty darn interesting player for the habs to keep around. of course if management has any medical information indicating that there's still a high risk, then a trade would be preferable, but 28 years of age is still kinda young if he's fully recovered. and I'm not aware of what kind of contract he's looking for but I'm really not convinced that teams around the league would be willing to give him a 6 or 7-year deal, I think he might have to sign a shorter-term deal and prove he still has what it takes before a team allows him a more serious long-term commitment... my 2 cents

canada, good morning.

mine kinda looks like chocolate pudding though, but it's the intention that really matters, right?

tks Karine! real happy for you. I can just imagine how much fun you had last night, even with this boring game going on. I guess you had your xmas present in advance this year.

I hope you like it. I think fentanyl is usually insipid, so it shouldn't taste bad.

someone synchronized audio clips from Beavis and Butthead with this old Legend of Zelda cartoon, they did a flawless job

You need someone like Monahan on your team anyway and the way he plays, he brings more to the table with the team than a potential first rounder.

At this point, I would trade Anderson before Monahan since he doesn't fit in St-Louis system.

Hughes should try to trade Anderson and a prospect for Boeser.
