That really seems to be the next step in his development. He had a nice rookie season with 22 goals 34pts in 75 games. He blew up in his sophomore year for 31 goals and 62pts. The next 2 seasons will end up similar to his breakout year but he hasn't taken the next step in terms of offense. Not saying that is a bad thing. Monahan has improved his faceoffs and has been better away from the puck this year. He has scored 25 this year so far after 27 last year. He had the career high in points with 63 last year and has 52 with 7 games to go this year.
Monahan could continue to go for 30 goals and 60 points every year and have a wonderful career but I do think he has the ability and potential to get to 40-80 as he gets closer to his prime years
