From various scouting reports...his skating isn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

I'll pull from my scouting resources too.
ISS on Monahan: Skating is ranked as Good (not Very Good or Excellent). His #1 weakness is overall quickness. "Fine tuning his stride and consistent game pace will be crucial in making a much more seamless transition into the pro game." "Must keep feet moving to reach potential."
FC on Monahan: "Speed and explosiveness are limited with Monahan, he is often able to compensate through his great effort and compete for the puck." "He will need to work on his leg strength as well as improving the first few steps of his skating stride."
Redline on Monahan: "Smooth skating stride with good east-west lateral moves. Good speed and quickness"
Redline who doesn't seem concerned at all about Monahan's skating has him ahead of Lindholm at #6. The other two have Lindholm slightly ahead.
