I think that the bolded point is best emphasized by Monahans propensity to score game winning goals. The man is one of the clutchest game closers in the league. If we use the last 6 years all the years he was in the league he has had 35 GWG, which is 9th best in the league for that time frame. Clearly that is cherry picking stats, so lets go two years before he even entered the league and see how he stacks up in that last 8 years. In that time farme he is still 22nd in the entire NHL.
