Still will need him to work on his skating but it looks vastly improved versus what he was like in the dub and previous prospect camps.
Monahan is such a smart player - the puck follows him around. I'm usually against keeping kids with the big team at 18 (especially as you lose a year of that ELC) but Monahan is making a case. Will be interesting to see what Feaster and co. do after the 9 game mark.

I'm really not even sure what is the best option at this point. It's a toss-up between preserving a year of his ELC and trying to sell the fans on the future of the club. Looking at how the club up North has now burned through 2 of their 1st overall picks' ELC's with not even a playoff berth to show for it I feel like we'll be better served in the long run sending him back to juniors.
