I'd also like to point out that Monahan had some pretty low level line mates for the most point last season. He didn't get to play with Duschene, O'Reilly and Landeskog or St Louis and Stamkos or Benn and Seguin or on the PP with Crosby and Malkin like some of the other rookies did. He played most of the season with Joe Colborne and was arguably most successful in the early going with another rookie in Sven Baertschi.
Monahan was more than fine in the situation he was in last season.
