The issue is with Monahan.
He's a really good player. He's not, however, a guy that you lean on when the going gets tough.

So what’s your plan for upgrading him? The true #1 you seek is only available via the draft at a higher position than Monahan was taken at. Might as well stop whining about our consistent 25-30 #1C goal scorer cause he’s not getting replaced.
