I'd rather he score 12 goals and play some solid, inspired hockey, which is something he can control completely. 20 goals from him at this point is entirely moot as he is doing zilch to help the team in any way. Some tenacity, puck possession and leadership would go a very long way. He was looking like he was trending towards a Toews for a few years. Now what I see out of Monohan is a less inspired Rob Neidermayer this season.
The Flames aren't losing because of him but if he was the elite player we all thought he was he would be finding ways to help the team win.
