Value to this team for a couple weeks during December? Who cares. It's much more important for him to get a chance to experience the world-stage against elite peers, be a leader on his team, and get a chance to play in high-pressure situations... than it is for him to contribute to an average team in the middle of the season.

I know we've been getting points this season, but pretty much every decision right now should be towards the betterment of the young guys, and not to the Standings. The WJC's will be another great learning experience for Monahan... they definitely shouldn't prevent him from getting it just because they might get an extra point or two out of it. He'll have the rest of the year to get the NHL experience.
