Among the pleasant surprises in the NHL this year, Sean Monahan is definitely part of the group. While we knew the forward could be dominant, his real challenge was staying healthy, and he seems to be on a good track.
Not only is he accumulating points at a good pace, but he excels in face-offs and is used in all game situations. He makes his teammates better, all while playing on the third line – quite impressive!
If a trade is in the cards, its value has just been revealed by Arpon Basu, and it's surprising. According to the journalist, Monahan could fetch a first-round pick for the Canadiens.
Given his modest salary of $1.985 million and his performance exceeding expectations, it's surprising that his value isn't even higher. When you consider that Ben Chiarot brought in more in his trade, it raises some questions.
