Not a lot of playmaking ability, poor defender, slow on the back check. Watching Monahan struggle the last 3 months while watching other playoff series where other teams’ #1 centers have dominated tells me a lot about the #1 center we have.

Monahan had 22 goals as a rookie playing on a low-pressure line with Joe Colborne and Mike Cammalleri. Remember?
Put him on a sheltered line behind a true #1 line with Tkachuk and a real #1C. I think it'd make a world of difference.
