The only thing I would be concerned about when thinking of sending him to the WJC is the fact that he is second in all rookies in scoring, just 4 points and goals behind Hertl. You know SJ is gonna be rolling like the are all year and those 5 or so games extra Hertl gets could really separate the current spread between him and Monahan. I think a Calder trophy for not only the player but for the organization would be a huge deal and you have to keep Monahan up strictly for that reason if we find him in much the same position come WJC time.
