As it is he and Lidstrom split draws 50-50 depending on side of the ice. Whether he can adjust to the rest is the question, though IMO it's less of an adjustment than moving the other way. More Cs move to wing out of junior than the opposite.

Monahan has almost 500 GP in the NHL. Junior was a loooong time ago.
He's had a crappy stretch of about 35 games, and I still chalk that up to a confidence slump.
I think he's proven he's a center, and like any other good players, he suffers slumps. I wouldn't ring alarm bells until next season if it continues.
