Either way, we have em both and that makes me very happy!
At this point in time I'm not sure I agree. I don't think Monahan has the ability to steal the puck in his own end and take it coast to cost for a dangerous shot in the slot like Backlund can. Backlund is a horse on both ends of the ice. Monahan needs to get faster, but he definitely has the potential to succeed beyond current Backlund.
