The CH finally breaks the silence on the mysterious Sean Monahan file: it's not what we expected
One of the most mysterious and important files at the moment for the Montreal Canadiens concerns forward Sean Monahan.
Let's make a quick summary of the situation:.
- On December 13th, the CH announced that Monahan would miss two to three weeks of activity.
- Now, almost two months later, Monahan is still out and it doesn't look like he'll be back anytime soon.
- Let's recall that ten days ago, Monahan had started skating with his teammates again, wearing a non-contact jersey, and he seemed close to a return to the game.
- However, since then, there has been no sign of Monahan and he has not been seen on the ice again. He was absent again today.
Sean Monahan seems to have aggravated his injury and that doesn't bode well.
It is important to note that we have to rely on our observations, because the Habs have not given any news on this subject. Radio silence.
This just changed.
In the last few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens have finally broken the silence regarding Monahan, but it's not the clear and precise update we were hoping for.
They simply announced that they will be issuing a statement with an update on Monahan's condition in the coming days.
So an announcement will be made by Friday, but today the CH just announced an upcoming announcement.
This is something to watch closely, because it will have a big impact on general manager Kent Hughes' plans as the NHL trade deadline approaches.
Let's really hope it's not too serious in the case of Monahan.
First, because he's solid for the Montreal Canadiens and brings a lot to the ice, second, for the sake of his long-term physical health, and third, because it's obvious he won't bring a 2023 first-round pick back to the Habs if he's injured (at the trade deadline).
Details to come in the next few days, then.
