[Cali Panthers Fan]

I'm mostly concerned that he's just not getting offensive chances at all during games. He never had a problem with that in the past, regardless of line mates and regardless of how he was playing in other areas. He has 41 shots on the season in 22 games, meaning he's getting less than 2 shots on net per game. That's VERY un-Monahan-like. He's never put up a bunch of assists, but he has just 3 in 22 games.

But my biggest concern is the lack of goals. Goal scoring has been his calling card since he's come into the league. Even when nothing else was going well, he would still find a way to score some goals. He has just 5 goals through 1/4 of the season. That puts him just barely at the 20 goal mark. Sure, he could heat up later on, but he doesn't seem close right now.

Here are some other notable NHL elites with more goals than Monahan:

Patrick Eaves-9
Rene Bourque-7
Paul Byron-7
Sam Gagner-7
Bo Horvat-7
Tanner Pearson-7
Cam Fowler-6
Viktor Arvidsson-6
Tyler Pitlick-6

If that list doesn't raise some eyebrows I don't know what will.
