Monahan got atleast 10 from just being setup and ready to shoot in the right place at the right time, if Colborne could learn that he'd be a better player immediately instead of being out of the play so much.

While that would be amazing, hockey IQ and vision on the ice is almost as hard to teach as size.

Monahan isn't as flashy or skilled as Colborne, but it's that hockey IQ/vision that made him a 6 Overall pick with top-6 upside and a high chance of meeting his ceiling.
