I still think Monahan is a great centre and player. He needs to step up and show who he truly is which is an high leve sniper. However to say he is better than Oreilly, I would beg to differ. I’d have to say putting salary and age aside, I would take Oreilly. Their offensive numbers are similar. But, Oreilly plays the PK and is one of the best face off players in the game. Plus Oreilly is much better defensively.
The concern with Monny is warranted as he has just not been the same player since the mandated/asg break. We need him if we are to make any waves in the post season.
