Both Monahan and Hudler were injured going into the playoffs. Monahan was primarily a shot in his first season. Last year he added some of the playmaking he was known for in junior. I expect next season he'll be even more of a playmaker and will add a physical dimension to his game after another off-season of working out. His speed picked up last season and I expect he's working on his skating again this summer. I think it would be foolish to put a ceiling on his play this early in his career.
