It's not entirely unprecedented in the history of the NHL for a #1 centre to be both a skilled sniper and difficult to play against. In fact, it's almost unprecedented for a Cup contender not to be led by a very strong two-way centre.
Crosby
Toews
Kopitar
Bergeron
Datsyuk
Getzlaf
Every one of those guys would still be a highly paid and highly sought-after centre if he only scored 40 pts a year. Can we really say the same for Monahan?
