Insider Drops a Bombshell on Sean Monahan's Future in Montreal

According to what was just reported by TSN's insider Darren Dreger, Sean Monahan is definitely on his way out of Montreal.

He even adds that it is certain that the paths between the two parties will part by next March 8, as an agreement between Hughes and Monahan regarding a mid-season trade is in place.

This information was corroborated by another insider, David Pagnotta this time, who points out that the Winnipeg Jets should be seriously watched for a potential trade involving the 29-year-old veteran.

Although some fans liked the play of number 91 and hoped for a possible contract extension with him, it is clear that this is the best news for the rebuild of the Canadiens, which is far from over, in light of the latest games.

A responsible center player with incredible leadership like Monahan, who also brings very good offensive production with 11 goals and 24 points in 40 games this season, is the kind of acquisition that is worth gold for a team aiming for nothing less than the highest honors.

It is evident that there will be a big market for him this year and the Canadiens' GM will undoubtedly try to maximize his value. A quality prospect and a high draft pick are likely to be the price set by Hughes for Monahan.
