Way too early for Monahan. Another full year at least and likely 2. Give him a couple more years to grow his game and learn from others first. I think transitioning into a more prominent role on the ice, getting better defensively and taking on less favorable icetime (offensive zone starts) is going to be enough for him.
Let Stajan, Glencross, Hudler and Backlund wear it for another year or two before the transition. If a guy is moved and a young guy takes over an "A", make it Brodie.
