Monahan needs a lot of work on his defensive game. Many times I seen him float around watching the play... which was surprising considering he was praised for his two way game before being drafted. Some times I would get frustrated watching him because he's generally a patient and passive player, but he scored 22 goals so he's obviously doing something right. Late in the season he started picking it up which was good news. I just hope some of you guys give him realistic expectations and stop comparing him as "Toews-lite". Langkow imo is a more fair comparison.
