All the guy does is continue to improve, and people are still stuck on this notion that Monahan is "just a second-line centre." And this notion that he "can't create on his own" is just patently false, and is clearly debunked by how consistent he has been in the absence of Johnny Gaudreau. He was on pace to score 70-points this year, and is in the top-twenty of offensive production among centres in the past three seasons.
Let's put it this way: if Sean Monahan is your team's #2 centre then your team has the best centre depth in the NHL by a country mile.
