One thing that makes things more difficult for Monahan was that Iginla was able to play behind the spotlight of a hot shot star (Fleury) and while he was good. Monahan is our go-to star, though I guess you could argue Gaudreau takes some pressure off. I think Iginla did a it with a lot less talent, but Iginla thrived in that situation (i.e. old saying that if Iginla was struggling, strap 2 monkeys on his back and he'll get 2 goals that game).
Monahan is a incredible..... really feel lucky to have him.
