The way I see it is the team is a long way from developing into a contender because too many guys are out of the prime years, we really don't have many 23-30 year old point producers and won't for a while so I think in the mean time we should be playing guys like Kanzig while the Monahan's and Baertschi's develop. Ideally Monahan can skate around and work on his game while the other team is scared ####less of getting destroyed by guys like Kanzig and Breen so they leave Monahan alone. It disappointed me the other night that nobody smeared Marchand across the boards, we can't let anyone take cheapshots at our bluechips

Who knows, maybe he can develop into something good, all he's really gotta do is know how to clear the puck, make the first pass and clear out the front of the net. If he tries to develop those skills specifically he should have time to become useful. We really have a few years so if he just practices a skillset for a specific role there's no reason he shouldn't be able to play in the NHL.
