The Montreal Canadiens are gearing up for a busy 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, and one player likely to be on the move is pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) Sean Monahan.
While the Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets have been prominent suitors, a recent development suggests that the New York Rangers are now in the mix for the skilled forward.
Reports from The Fourth Period indicate the Rangers' interest in Monahan, presenting a potential opportunity for the Canadiens to make a deal.
The Rangers have a need for an additional center, especially with
Filip Chytil sidelined due to a long-term concussion.
Adding Monahan to their roster could address this gap, potentially slotting him as their third-line center.
At 29 years old, Monahan has showcased his offensive prowess in 43 games with the Canadiens this season, tallying 11 goals and 25 points.
Beyond his scoring contributions, his durability throughout the season enhances his attractiveness as a trade target.
As the trade deadline approaches, more teams are expected to make a push for Monahan's services.
The Rangers' interest adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing trade discussions, leaving fans curious to see if they'll be the team to secure Monahan's services.
