I'd say 45-50 points for the money hands. More assists this year thanks in part to playing with Johnny Hockey on the powerplay.

Monahan didn't play like a superstar in his first season, let's not blow it out of proportion. He was still a -20 and pretty lacking on the assists side of things, but he was way above your average rookie. He's got a ways to go to get 1st line center consideration from me. It's very early on yet. He needs to get his faceoffs, assists, defensive play, and foot speed up to an above average NHL level to get there. However, I won't rule out the possibility. It's fair to set his projection as a solid 2nd line center, with the definite chance of him exceeding that.
