I agree, but not for the reasons you give. I'm more concerned about Monahan's own development. I believe that he would be best served by a chance to play a key role on a good team, and play a long season with a decent playoff run. You almost never find an 18-year-old who is physically mature enough to play big minutes on an NHL team for the full length of an NHL season, and in any case, I did say a
good team. Of course, the 67's are not a good team either.
What I'd like to see is for Monahan to go to a contender in the OHL and be part of a team that is trying for a Memorial Cup berth. That would do him more good than being clobbered every night in Calgary or Ottawa.
