This is one of the best pieces of content ever put out by an NHL franchise. Take a bow Jets!

[@MrPhillyJB]

Flames fan will say, please take care of this man! Nothing but pure class and a warrior. Always rooting for Monahan!

[@patrickgoulet8170]

Happy to have him on the team, hopefully he likes it here and will think about sticking around.

[@JesusFriedChrist]

Lmao who wants to live in Whiny Peg

[@Ajbarrelworks]

Not happening 😂

[@Sir_Sydney_live]

If we have the cap I think the Jets should. He is an elite player and is playing really well this year for us.

[@chanzethomas580]

Nobody wants to be in Winnipeg 😆

[@MrCoryb77]

He's already improved our PP and he wins face offs. Go Jets Go!!!!

[@supmofo123]

Became a fan of Sean right away in Montreal. You will love him. Best of Luck Mr.Monahan

[@johnsnow4544]

[@Xconillusionschris]

Man dilly has seemed to try and be there for mony a lot

[@boreddingercity]

That’s just how dilly is, he’s good with teammates

[@aubreyaragon988]

Greetings from Arizona. I've been following Monahan since he was playing for Calgary Flames till he got traded to the Habs, and I just currently found this out via Instagram, and I couldn't be more happier. Time flies, and I hope the best he's a talented player.

[@antoineprimeau6309]

You guys are lucky to have him, he is such a beauty!! I already miss him in Montreal

[@camdenpowell9135]

Welcome to the Peg!!!!

[@JesusFriedChrist]

Ew

[@Shawnelle]

"I'm sean" humble enough to not assume everyone knows him

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Habs fans are already missing him, but we wish him nothing but the best. He's earned everything he has. I hope he gets a taste of a deep playoff run.

[@kylewahlberg9840]

Truly an important video for hockey fans. So cool to see the behind the scenes part of him choosing gloves, skates, etc

[@TimLinklater]

Love this behind the scenes look at all that goes into transitioning to a new team. It really humanizes the process of a trade and what it does to a player. Great work Winnipeg Jets crew!

[@Toews1247]

Love Mony already!

[@lynebeausejour2893]

I’m so happy for you Sean. We miss you here in Montréal. You guys are lucky to have him. We totally understand why he was traded. We just wished he could have stayed longer. ❤

[@CaptainPizza18]

Miss you Mony! hope to see you back in MTL this summer

[@kalenboath3862]

Love these vids!

[@youhopeirot]

This is awesome, I wish all teams would do stuff like this

[@frenchycanada]

Class guy and a good hockey player....you'll like him in Winnipeg.

[@xfinity319]

Love having Mony on the team!!! He’s really helped our power play and he loves the game. Hoping we can keep him here forever! GO JETS GO! ✈️✈️✈️

[@JesusFriedChrist]

NO JETS NO

[@crankybastid2197]

Sorry to see him go. Thanks for your time in Montreal. All the best wishes.

[@user-kg2fz4xo2x]

Hated to see him go. Brings everything you want from a pro. Hope you guys win the cup...

[@annakivaderova1452]

crazy how this guy became my favourite hockey player with playing only one season for the Canadiens. I'm going to be a fan even if he's sittin on Jets bench now. Go Sean!

[@habs798693]

Hated to see him go, but hopefully he can help Winnipeg make a deep run or possibly even win it all. *fingers crossed

[@tysonkehler7582]

I love seeing these parts of the game, what we don’t see with trades. The equipment stuff is particularly interesting

[@iceman.46]

It made me happy they were immediately ready to get him a hat HE wanted. Respect!!

[@tonyk501]

Gloves are the most personal thing a player wears, and the most critical piece of personalized equipment to get replaced quickly when being traded to a new team. All NHL teams keep stock of pretty much every pants and helmet models in every size, so those are usually very easy to get ready and hung up for the incoming player, although some players hate breaking in new pants mid-season and instead opt for wearing a pant shell over their old team's pants.

[@alexporter9038]

Killed it with the production

[@patbl61]

One of my favorite Habs in recent years. Wish him nothing but success!

[@jeremietr]

habs fan now rooting for the jets for the cup! lets gooo!

Welcome to the team GJG!!

[@jamesboehlke4616]

This is a great video. Wished more teams would do this

[@davidsine1222]

Miss Sean in Montreal...hope he does well for the Jets

[@BrennenL]

He's had so many experiences since leaving the Flames [ :( ]... awesome video, thanks.

[@mikegravel5310]

Come back to Montréal in the dead season we need you!

[@joycenkenes]

he's not fancy , just pure hockey IQ

[@jtm1979]

Those 90's colors with the red pants looks so much better! Great video :)

[@sanoush100]

Many thanks for your time in Montreal! Winnipeg is lucky to have you!

[@lauryluzier7642]

We’ll miss him in Montréal 🙃

[@neilreid9005]

Well done vid! Quite interesting; I love the behind the scenes shots. Good luck to #23!

[@user-yg1dg6xm2g]

Habs fan here. This was an enjoyable watch! Go Mony, Go Jets!

[@shoopwhoop5130]

immediately asking for a hat is relatable af

[@MicBergsma]

Great video! I enjoyed this

[@Benesii]

Seeing these behind the scenes aspects of being an NHL hockey player is amazing. I was always curious and ty for doing these. Is this a a Sara Orleski idea?

[@whodoyoudancefor]

This is brilliant. Well done boys!

[@comfortroosterrecords]

great work. that is a good story.

[@larmar]

Thank god Winnipeg got their team back . What a class act.

[@SoftLawnmower]

Believe it or not I was I at his first NHL game as a jet, in the Canada life center. I didn’t even know this was his first game there until now. Go Jets Go!

[@ricosuave8123]

As a die hard Habs fan, I was very sorry to see him go. The return for him was good, but his skill sets will be missed in Montreal.

[@NessieFromTheLoch]

such a great video! I loved hearing about nerves and players actively trying to make new guys a part of the group. it seems like he'll be OK as a jet ❤

[@banksgravette8417]

When he was talking about getting use to how the team plays it really got me. That’s the thing when you get traded you have to go into a way diffrent sceme.

[@francescoiaderosa2247]

I was sad to see you go Sean, but seeing you have a chance at a Cup is something that will last a lifetime!

[@ScifiFantasy-jc9gw]

Welcome to the jets family Sam

[@goldenretriever6261]

Nice flow.

[@Krimbopulous]

I asked Sean if he was excited to be on the Jets and said that he was.

[@giobluee]

this is great content

[@parkerprice7669]

Flames fan here. Take care of him. ❤

[@CubeInspector]

This is actually a decent video. Its good that the coaches have realistic expectations with this guys coming in mid season knowing they gotta flush some old habits while keeping their core play.

[@Caylemfarquhar1]

As a Habs fan, Mony is the best

[@bucklau]

We miss him :(

[@ryanaustin1970]

There's another rock like that ... from the city by the construction on the new bridge on the way to pawee ...the big tunnel

Can we also get one of these for Toffoli now

[@michaelhofer954]

Welcome to the peg 😅

[@Clownconspirator]

as a wings fan im still looking for a western team to root for, I think I like the jets the best

[@alexmcvetty2340]

Amazing addition to the team!

[@austino17]

Keep taking good care of him please

[@jo12danjames]

jets fans were so worried about this guy and now they are all hoping he stays lol

[@CP4Z167]

Always thought they brought their old helmets and just changed the colors, I guess teams provide new ones with similar spec’s nowadays?

[@tonyk501]

@CP4Z167 All NHL teams keep stock of pretty much every helmet model in every size and in the team colours they wear, so there really isn't a need for a newly traded player to bring their old team's helmets with them. The equipment staff from the old team contact the equipment staff for the player's new team and send them all the relevant equipment specs for that incoming player before the player even arrives in their new city. Same goes for the pants, assuming the player is ok breaking in a new set of pants mid-season. If not, they will just get a pant shell ready to cover the old team's pants. If the incoming player uses a girdle instead of pants, they will just get a proper fitting pant shell that is compatible with that girdle model ready. The most challenging piece of equipment for a new incoming player to get replaced are the gloves. All NHL teams keep a limited generic team stock of the more commonly used pro glove models in every brand in their team colours that they can quickly give to the new player just to get them by until their preferred custom gloves arrive from the factory. Some players don't customize their gloves so they are much easier to get resolved quickly, whereas those who have more personalized customizations built into their gloves have to wait until the factory builds and ships them over in the new team's colours. All other equipment a player wears like skates, shin pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads, and jock all stay the same and are brought over with the player from the old team, including the player's old team's bag, which eventually just gets shipped back to their old team after it's been replaced with the new team's bag.

[@CP4Z167]

@@tonyk501 I see I didn’t know that, I thought some guys might be superstitious and wear the exact same helmet they had their entire career. For example, Malkin and Ekholm wear pretty old school Bauer helmets. So if they get traded, their new teams likely have unworn helmets with exact same specs in their storage ?

[@tonyk501]

@@CP4Z167 Correct. Unworn helmets with the exact same model specs in storage. At most, a player may decide to bring their old team's white "road" helmet with them and just have the stickers on them changed. The colour stickers on the helmet's visor would also get changed, or a new visor of the exact same specs would be installed. Malkin and Ekholm both wear the old Bauer 4500 helmet, which is still worn by many NHLers like Marchessault, Duchene, Cogliano, etc.

[@CP4Z167]

@@tonyk501wow just did a quick super surprised to see quite a few players still wear the 4500....another fun fact, looks like Letang might be the only one still wearing the Bauer 7500. Still one of my favorite helmet designs of all time lol

[@deyiien1105]

Really hoping u like if here. Monahan your a key piece! Now Let's win a cup!

[@thenextpoetician6328]

If he stays with the Jets, great for the Jets. If he should happen to go back to the Habs, great for the Habs. We'll see. He makes teams better for having him on the roster.

[@bargotron469]

Gonna miss him

[@Habsfan56744]

Good luck there Mony

Brenden Dillon comes across as a five star teammate in this one.
