Monahan was a potential good 2c with some 1c attributes like his IQ and on ice-awareness with good faceoff ability. Seems like tkatchuk is touted with that same IQ and awareness in a different way. I would have gone with the, imo safer pick, the center Monahan. I think based on Tkachuks numbers in the OHL and his quick hands and smarts he has a bit more offensive potential. But Monahans numbers with a bad 67's team showed he could produce offense, and that was right. I'd take bennett first.
