  1. Understanding that it's only 2 games... but, man this kid had the entire Bell Centre on the edge of their seat everytime he was on the ice and touched the puck. He's clearly a special kind of player. 

     

    I'm most impressed with MSL...

     

    Kudos to him affording Hutson the opportunity to just play the game as he knows it, and Mailloux on the top pair...

     

    It's unheard of in Mtl to allow two kids in their first game and 2nd game, top 4 minutes.

     

    Mailloux 21:14 on top pair

    Hutson 23:32

    Hutson 21:54 last night

    The other thing of some note in there is that they're no longer looking for goalies which takes one of the more viable speculative landing spots for Allen off the table.

    I can't see Habs getting much for Allen. I think 3rd RD is best case, but even that is a reach. 

  3. Nobody wants him participating in full practice until next season ( i surely dont). But, light skating on his own, to activate his quads, cycling for his hams, etc, to combat muscle atrophy will only help. As long as he's wearing his brace to avoid any twists, etc.

     

    He's over 4 months post-op, so he's almost there, if not already with fullbone growth around the pins holding his new ligaments in place. That's the biggest hurdle really. Odds of him re-tearing after ligamentization vs tearing it out of the bone before bone growth and fusion of pins /bones is much lower.

  4. There is a huge difference in timeline, pending which procedure was used to fix both ligaments

    -Double grafted semi tendinosis 

    -double grafted  patella tendon

    - cadaver 

     

    If the cadaver was used in the procedure and given his young age.... 8 months to return isn't out of the question. I would expect he would wear a ortho brace to start.

     

    The semi tendinosis provides best results  although hardest rehab,  and comes with added hamstring issues.

    Prior to the Lindholm trade, consensus was a 1st or 2nd was going to be the return.  So the 1st wasn't guaranteed.  By the expectations to what Montreal actually got, this is an excellent deal.

     

    Montreal ended up getting 2 1sts, potentially 3rd and 74 games of service for taking on a cap dump.  That's probably the best case scenario.

    So now considering the Lindholm trade, and how expectations evolved from that deal 48 hours ago. How can this not feel underwhelming.

    I think this is an excellent return for Monahan.  

     

     

     

    Is it though? A 1st round pick was always the likely return provided Monohan returned to health and form. He showed last year and TY, that he never lost his form and only needed to remain healthy.

     

    The 3rd roumder is a wash unless jets do the unthinkable and win it all.

    Given the return for Lindolm... it this just seems like we left potential assets on the table just to make a deal. 

     

    Here's to hoping we can secure his services again in the off-season.

     

  7. After seeing what was brought in for Lindolm... this seems like it's not enough. Considering they are the same age, Monahan is healthy and out performing Lindolmbthis season. As well as outperformed throughout  their career
