Monahan is only 21 years old but it just seems like he's older because he's mature beyond his years and has less holes in his game than your typical 21 year old center. How many other 21 year old centers car counted on to be their first line center and carry a team? He's still a little rough around the edges as he's not a possession driving forward, his skating is average at best, and he's not a gifted playmaker. That said he's got a decent shot and a very good nose for the net as he's one of those guys you can count on to put himself in position to finish a nice pass. Most importantly he's future captain material. I think he's in the mold of the two centers in Boston in that they don't wow you with their overall game but they are very solid and get the job done.
