Maybe-

Ferland - Monahan - Brouwer

or

Tkachuk - Monahan - Ferland

Monahan played a much more North-South and physical game when he was in the OHL.

I feel like his last couple season with Gaudreau and Hudler have turned him into a less physical and more East-West type of player.
I could live with his skating deficiencies if he could develop a heavy game down low and along the boards. He needs to add one aspect or another though as just being the guy with a good wrister isn't going to cut it in todays NHL IMO.
