I think in some respects the team has to work around that or decide if Monahan is a top line centre with the organization.

The top line with the team is the one with gaudreau, and maybe that means monahan isn't that guy. Which is a crying shame because backlund certainly isn't but maybe he has to be.

Not sure what the solution is.
Gaudreau Lindholm (trade Backlund for RW)
Tkachuk Monahan Neal
