For a change, this summer Kent Hughes will have salary cap flexibility to improve the team in one way or another.
One of the options that may be more reasonable and logical is called Sean Monahan.
Last year he earned the first choice to shoot the torch out of the 6.3 million he earned and quickly found his spot on the team’s second line and took the massive pressure off Nick Suzuki who was the only first place .6 from the team.
Unfortunately, CH didn’t have a chance to capitalize on his long-term presence, and it was he who suffered an injury that kept him on the sidelines for 2/3 of the season.
Despite everything, he has proven his worth against the Canadiens and will have to sign a contract at a discount this summer in order to rebuild his reputation as a player who can avoid injuries if he hopes to continue his NHL career.
According to insider Chris Johnston, the possibility of him again in a CH jersey is very present and he believes there are discussions in that direction.
Chris Johnston with a brief update on Sean Monahan: “I don’t think it’s impossible for him to end up in Montreal… there’s no guarantee he’ll re-sign with # love But I think there have been at least some discussions about that.” https://t.co/LsFJmW6ABn

In 25 games, he collected 17 points last year in addition to excelling in the face-off circuit.
A one-year contract worth 2 million would make a lot of sense.
