The price for bringing Sean Monahan back to Montreal is known
The least we can say is that Sean Monahan left a very positive impression during his nearly two seasons in Montreal.
Not only did he make a difference when he was in the lineup, but he also served as a role model on and off the ice. A true gentleman and leader.
On the other hand, he also loved his time with the Canadiens. It allowed him to make a strong comeback when few teams believed he could still compete given his injury history.
There's no doubt that Monahan is a skilled hockey player and he belongs in a top 6 forward position, especially with the Canadiens.
Johnston goes on to reveal Sean's financial demands, which are quite manageable for the Canadiens, but perhaps less so for a contending team.
Indeed, Monahan is seeking a three-year deal worth $5.25 million per year.
As mentioned earlier, the Canadiens have the means to afford this salary, so theoretically, he could return.
However, the main concern is that Monahan has clearly stated he wants to sign with a contending team.
We'll see what his decision will be on July 1st, but one thing is certain, if no contending team can afford to sign him, Kent Hughes will have to do what he can to bring him back to Montreal.
