Bonjour à tous, Voici aujourd’hui un article bonus sur une analyse approfondie du nouveau venu : Sean Monahan. Je pense qu’il sera utile, mais il reste de gros points d’interrogation. J’ai aussi mon post normal du vendredi, mais j’attendrai de le partager une fois que le sujet tendance s’estompera un peu hahah ! Comme toujours, faites-moi part de vos réflexions et de vos questions.

I know the Jets won’t likely do this, but I wouldn’t mind trying Monahan out as 4C while he gets used to the systems. I think Namestnikov has actually looked surprisingly good at 2/3C, even though that’s not a traditional role for him, but I don’t have access to all the information that others might have.
If this team is running:
Connor – Scheifele – Villardi
Niedereiter – Lowry – Appleton
Perfetti – Namestnikov – Ehlers
Barron – Monahan – Iafallo
…that’s pretty legitimate in my view. Maybe you swap Namestnikov and Monahan at some point, but the real benefit is in moving Kupari/Gustafsson to the press box, not in replacing Namestnikov with Monahan, in my opinion.
This was a risky move for Chevy, but a potential Cup run necessitates this kind of move (especially one that doesn’t cost us current roster players). I really like that Chevy makes risky moves when the moment warrants it (an unexpected Cup run), but plays a more consistent, conservative game in the long term. However it turns out, I like the approach.
I wonder if there is any chance Namestnikov could take Appleton’s spot on the Lowry line. Seems like that could be a nice upgrade.
I don’t love the idea of him eating away at Namestnikov’s 5v5 ice time. He’s been a solid 200 foot contributor and taking his minutes and giving them to a pretty one dimensional player could end up being a net negative. While certainly bumping a guy like Toninato out of the lineup helps, I think there were better fits available and for less (Henrique) if the goal was to improve your 4th line center.
Monahan will definitely help with the power play, which is something the Jets desperately need.
