He can't. And wouldn't. That's not my point. (facepalm)
I'm talking about in April, when his season is done (obviously he's already made the commitment this year...). He seems firmly on the fence about what he wants to do after this season, and that to me is confusing. I just expected him, now in his third year and the nation leader statistically, dominating the league, to come out and say that making the move to Abby at season's end would be the plan, barring any setbacks with his physical training or whatnot. But instead it's more of, "I'm not sure now, we will see how I feel then". Just doesn't sound that eager to take the next step as most players of his caliber would be. You always hear other kids in junior coming through camps here saying they want to make the jump sooner than later and are chomping at the bit to move up. Monahan made it his 'plan' to be here this fall, even though the odds were stacked against him as a first year. And none of them dominated their respective leagues at the level Johnny is currently. Just confuses me a bit is all. But maybe that's a sign of his maturity and not getting ahead of himself right now with his frame and the work he knows is still ahead to get it to where he'll need it to be, but it seems almost a no brainer at this point. I expected him to sound a little more assuring considering the level he's playing at and that he must realize he's well beyond this level of hockey already.
