Montreal Canadiens: Three Teams That Will Be Very Interested In Sean Monahan

Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have solid depth down the middle of the ice, but teams need four good centres to make a deep run in the Western Conference. They already boast Mark Scheifele, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Adam Lowry, but could use Monahan to complete that quartet.

Monahan would surely add some faceoff prowess, and depth scoring to a team that is lacking in that department. They are also missing top nine forwards Nik Ehlers and Mason Appleton for a large chunk of the season, so they could be interested in making a deal sooner than later.

The Jets are off to a decent start with a 11-6-1 record and there seems to be a fairly distinct line between the haves and the have-nots in the Central Division so a clear path to the playoffs already exists. They just need to continue to feast on the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks and stay ahead of the struggling Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators.

With Scheifele signed for just this season and next and Dubois eligible to be a UFA at the same time, the Jets will be motivated to load up for a run this season if they remain firmly in the mix as we head toward the trade deadline.
