I don't. I think it'll be a good experience for him. But I don't see how this will make him a better player in the long run. First of all, and someone prove me wrong if I'm wrong, but I've never heard of a player go on record and say how a World Jr tournament helped them become the NHL player that they are.
Monahan is already competing against the best players in the world and succeeding. How exactly is him playing against weaker opponents, the majority of whom will never become a full-time NHL player, going to help him become a better overall player? How is him going to the tournament going to help him 10 years down the road? It's not.
