Monahan was one of the most sheltered players in the NHL in his rookie season and was not the focal point of the other team. Cammalleri was still the top offensive player on the team and took on the tougher competition.
Monahan did a great job playing tougher minutes as a sophomore but we all must remember his shooting % has been well above league average in both of his seasons. That is partially due to his smarts, his shot, and where he shoots from but he is far more of a marked player now than he has ever been in the NHL before
