Going to be honest, I don't think Monahan is the Centre that will push them over the edge. Hope he continues to improve in consistency but despite some clutch goals I simply don't see him dominate enough out there to be the top line center to lead a team to a cup. The rest of the core is solid but I continue to feel we're missing something from that 1C required to have cup potential.

Things like you see in Crosby, Getzlaf, Toews (at playoff time), and this year McDavid.
