Too soon to be putting Monahan's line against elite first line guys. Let them continue to succeed playing other teams 2nd and 3rd lines for now.
Also, based on interviews, McGrattan has wanted to fight but been told not to in certain instances by Hartley. I think he is doing his job just fine which does not involve simply fighting.
My ideal situation:
Jackman sent down (will clear easy)
SOB & Butler sent down (would they clear?)
Glencross in the press box
Colborne needs to be sent down and learn to use his size better (face offs and positioning). He has the potential but isn't using it. Do you think he gets claimed if sent to Abby?
