Playing a top 6 centre role != leading the team.
Monahan needs to show progression into become a top 6 centre well before then yes.
Sam Bennett will likely return to junior and then debut in 2015. At that point we'll likely have drafted either McDavid or Eichel, who will both unquestionably start in the NHL.
So, our centre depth becomes:
Monahan
Bennett
McDavid/Eichel
Backlund
Colborne
So explain to me why we need Stajan to shelter any of those players?
