I posted this about Monahan about this time last year before the draft. Thought his game would translate really well to the NHL because of his style of play, particularly the simple and efficient but deadly accurate shot he has. Most players seem to shoot toward the net and hope something good happens - Monahan seems to actually aim very intently and hit that spot - and he is damn good at it.
Can't ask for much more out of his rookie season. Very glad we ended up with him. Thanks for the video AC - that must be a lot of work. It's appreciated.
