The Canadiens Have Completed A Deal To Acquire Sean Monahan From The Flames

The Montreal Canadiens have completed the deal to acquire Sean Monahan from the Calgary Flames. The Canadiens also receive a conditional first-round pick in 2025 in the deal, which frees up cap space for the Flames to sign center Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, $49 million deal. Calgary gains future valuations in the deal. Canadiens GM Kent Hughes said the Habs are “not sure” the centerman will be ready to start the season. Monahan had season-ending hip surgery in April. “He sounds incredibly encouraging that for the first time in a long time he’s going to play a season healthy,” Hughes said. “I don’t know if this is going to be Game 1 of the season or if it’s going to be Game 4 of the season. But he feels like even today, not 100 percent, he’s a lot better than he’s been the last few years.” A 2013 first-round pick, Monahan has played 656 games with the Flames, scoring 212 goals and recording 462 points in that span. Over the past two seasons, Monahan has struggled with injuries, requiring hip surgeries in both 2021 and 2022. Throughout the 2021-22 season, Monahan played on the fourth line and scored eight goals and 23 points in 65 games — a reduced role for the former sixth overall pick. On April 2, the Flames announced that Monahan would undergo season-ending hip surgery. His most productive season for the Flames came in 2018-19, when he scored 34 goals and collected 82 points in 78 games, making it the only season he eclipsed the point-per-game mark. In 2016, Monahan signed a seven-year, $44.6 million contract with an AAV of $6.375 million. He is set to become a UFA at the end of the 2022-23 season. “On behalf of the entire Flames organization, I sincerely thank Sean for his nine years of selfless dedication and perseverance,” said Flames GM Brad Treliving. “Sean was a great Flame, a first-class individual who defined the definition of respect. Our team and city were fortunate to have him as a player, ambassador and member of our community.”
