I like the fact that "leg weakness" is an issue with Monahan. That is something that can be fixed. Get him working with a skating coach and working with a strength/conditioning coach, and it will be fixed.
High-Hockey IQ (in Monahan's case - that ranks as one of the best in the draft) is something you can't teach or fix.
I still do prefer Nichushkin at the moment, but I am definitely going to be happy with either of those two or Lindholm. Really hoping for Barkov though *sigh*. Regardless, this draft is going to be a big step forward for the organization, and I am on pins and needles.
