Recently, Darren Dreger from TSN reported the Montreal Canadiens' intensified efforts to trade Sean Monahan, a potential free agent in 2024. Monahan, 29, with a $1.98 million contract, is seen as an attractive option for several teams. Dreger specifically mentioned the Boston Bruins' potential interest in this forward. He highlighted teams like Colorado, Edmonton Oilers, and possibly the Washington Capitals, who are seeking centermen or depth in that position. Monahan's good health and performance this season make him a prime candidate for a trade.
Dreger also reminded that the Canadiens had agreed to trade Monahan to a contender or his preferred team when the right time comes, suggesting Monahan could be one of the first forwards traded before the deadline. This leads to speculation about the Bruins' interest in Monahan.
"No different from any other year, there are teams looking for centremen and depth at that position – or a top-two or top-three centreman," Dreger said. "We're looking at Colorado. We're looking at Boston, the Edmonton Oilers, maybe even the Washington Capitals if they stay in the mix leading up to the trade deadline. Twenty-nine-year-old Sean Monahan of the Montreal Canadiens is healthy, and he is having a decent year."
Sean Monahan's impactful performance this season, including 11 goals and 20 assists in 46 games, positions him as a valuable addition for the Boston Bruins if they trade for him. His proficiency in faceoffs and passes enhances his potential to strengthen the Bruins' center lineup.
