And on this topic, in the last few minutes, Toronto journalist Luke Fox has linked three names to the Maple Leafs via trade, including a player from the Montreal Canadiens.
This will be a file to watch, but in Toronto, they are increasingly talking about the possibility of a trade between the Habs and the Leafs involving Monahan.
If I'm Kent Hughes, I'd ask them for, at a minimum, a 1st round pick! (and try to sign Monahan next summer)
Monahan, 29 years old, earns less than two million dollars this season.
He has accumulated 17 points, including 9 goals, in 29 games this season with the CH. It would be a major addition for the Maple Leafs.
A file to follow very closely, according to Fox in particular.
The only reason Monahan could be traded is precisely because he will be a free agent at the end of this season.
