Last guy off the ice @ practice and trains like a pro.
I wouldn't be surprised if he hits 35+ goals this year. Though that might be hard playing with the Gagner..

Destroyed the CHL? He had 31 goals and 38 assists for 69 points in 42 games. He played at a 1.6 points per game clip. Monahan was at 1.3 pts/g clip on a far worse team (31g 47a for 78 pts in 58 games for the record).
I think saying he destroyed the CHL is a bit of a reach.
