Sean Monahan’s Contract with the Montreal Canadiens: Analysis and Predictions
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2024-01-18 23:50:50
Last summer, Sean Monahan agreed with the Montreal Canadiens on the terms of a one-season contract.
Many applauded Kent Hughes when we learned the amount of his pact ($1,985 million), because we knew that the veteran was useful to the club last year.
And with his injury history, seeing him sign for so little was good news in itself.
Sean Monahan has demonstrated since the start of his career that he can be an important element of a hockey club. He is reliable in all three zones of the ice and his offensive touch allows him to be a constantly dangerous player on the ice.
This is why there was interest in his services last summer. Even that, according to Mathias Brunet, who was on Martin Lemay’s show on BPM Sports…
The player would have accepted less money in order to play for the Canadian:
I found out this today: Monahan refused more money elsewhere than in Montreal. – Mathias Brunet
The La Presse journalist goes on to say that it was logical for him, because playing for the Canadian allows him to play more to increase his value:

Martin Lemay maintains that he is ready to offer him a five-year contract valued at $5 million per season, but Mathias Brunet does not agree because Monahan is (already) 29 years old.
It is certain that by signing Monahan for five years, the Canadian opens the door to having a versatile player for the end of the reconstruction.
A seasoned veteran who can help the young guys with the team… But the player is too burdened with injuries to believe that he will be healthy in the long term.
And therein lies the problem.
Monahan is an important player for the Canadiens right now and it’s hard to argue otherwise. But will it still be in three years, when the young people have reached maturity and the Canadian is ready to compete?
Knowing his medical history, we can wonder if he will still be performing well in two or three years. And if he is no longer able to keep up, the Canadian will have a certain problem on his hands.
Barring a big surprise, let’s remember in closing that the forward should leave the Canadiens by the trade deadline… And that according to David Pagnotta, the price asked for his services would be a first round pick or a pick of second round with a hope. It is useful to remember this.

One of the great specialists in the history of France in the 20th century, Julian Jackson, is the guest of Quotidien on Thursday January 18. After having enjoyed great success with his work “De Gaulle”, the 69-year-old British historian returns with “The Pétain Trial”. First of all, a look back at the trial of the man of collaboration which opened on July 23, 1945, while the archive images depict a man alone once morest everyone. Julian Jackson returns to the profile of one of Marshal Pétain’s lawyers, Jacques Isorni, who elevated the man at the heart of the controversy as a hero who notably saved Jews. The writer deciphers the political legacy that he left behind him even today, like Eric Zemmour’s recent positions. Then return to the historic handshake between Marshal Pétain and Hitler on October 20, 1940, a few days before he addressed the French on the radio. Finally, Julian Jackson tries to say more regarding the fact that Pétain was never tried for the deportation of the Jews.

After enabling wealthy clients to realize their space dreams, Axiom Space now also takes individuals sponsored by national agencies. This mission is thus revealing of the growing role of the private sector in supporting the space ambitions of countries that do not have their own human spaceflight program.

“Strengthening Europe’s presence in space”
The Ax-2 mission had already allowed two Saudis supported by their government to stay on the ISS. Among the crew members this time: Alper Gezeravci, a fighter pilot who became the first Turk to cross the final frontier. “We see this mission as the symbol of an increasingly powerful and assertive Turkey,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this week, wishing Colonel Gezeravci “good luck.”

Also on board, the Swede Marcus Wandt is supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). His role as a “project astronaut” at ESA allows him to participate in short-term missions, via a fixed-term contract, unlike full-time astronauts, the European agency said. “I want to thank ESA for being bold and visionary, and leading the way, together with Sweden and Axiom Space, to strengthen Europe’s presence in space,” wrote Marcus Wandt on -Twitter).
Ready for launch.
I am immensely grateful and impressed by everyone who made this mission possible.
A special thanks to the Swedish government, the Swedish industry and the Swedish Armed Forces, who jointly and in a very determined way showed the importance of space… pic.twitter.com/aeVgyWr57s

The crew is completed by the Italian Walter Villadei, a member of his country’s air force. The man once flew aboard a Virgin Galactic ship – but the space trip then only lasted a few minutes. Finally, the Spanish and American dual national Michael Lopez-Alegria, former NASA astronaut, will be the mission commander, employed by Axiom Space to support the three clients.

Towards the construction of a private space station
They will join seven people already on board the flying laboratory: two American astronauts, a Dane, a Japanese, and three Russian cosmonauts. The details of the various contracts, including the prices paid to Axiom Space for each seat, are not made public. These private missions are carried out in partnership with NASA, which bills Axiom Space for the use of the station.

For the company, these missions are a first step before building its own space station. A program encouraged by NASA, which plans to retire the ISS around 2030, and then send its astronauts to private stations.
