I don't think Monahan has the same type of velocity behind his.

I do disagree with you. I think in that spot on the PP, Monahan isn't only one of the best trigger-men on the team, but up there with the best in the league.
The space and timing he's able to get the puck away with is just about unparalleled. Ferland has a nice shot in his own right, but it's nowhere near Monahan's when considering the space, accuracy and quickness with which Mony's able to get it away. It's not close.
I don't think that's a change we'll see, regardless of your take on their respective play-making abilities.
