I've been a Monahan fan for a while, but he's being exposed. He just doesn't drive the play whatsoever the way you want your #1 center to do, and he just seems like he has zero intensity and has no physicality to his game at all. You'd like to see it since he has the size ... If this team wants to take another step forward, we need someone who can drive the play, take the game over at times and doesn't have to almost completely rely on Johnny. An upgrade to the 3rd line center position is a must too, Jankowski just hasn't gotten it done outside of the PK. I was excited about signing Neal, but wow, what a disappointment. No idea what we're gonna do with him. Hopefully he rebounds next year I guess.
