Monahan looks 1/2 step slower (maybe wrong workout regimen this summer - tried to build up too much? or still some lingering effects from injury?) and looks a bit lost in the new systems.
Pathetic PP is also hurting his production. Why you wouldn't gear your PP to best use a sniper like Monahan by feeding him cross ice or from behind the net for snap shots is beyond me.
Instead they have that goofy umbrella setup and try to lob shots through from the perimeter. It is beyond ridiculous and looks every bit the 30th best in the league.
