NHL Trade Rumors: 29-year-old Montreal Canadiens forward's future with the team may be in jeopardy
The future of Sean Monahan with the Montreal Canadiens appears to be in danger, with the 29-year-old forward emerging as a potential trade candidate for the forthcoming trade deadline.
Monahan is currently inked into a one-year, $2 million deal with the Habs, which he signed last year. As per Eric Engels of Sportsnet, there have been no extension talks between the player and the club.
Engels stated that many teams would love to get the forward on board, and dealing with him before the March 8 trade deadline could prove to be the best option for the Canadiens.
Notably, Monahan only counts for roughly half a million against the salary cap if acquired before the trade deadline.
Engels also reported through Mailbag that the Montreal Canadiens have players in Jake Evans and Christian Dvorak who are both under contract for next season and if the Canadiens get good in return, they may consider offloading the 29-year-old forward.
