I know Monahan has been trying to be more physical this season, but our #1 C shouldn't be 20th on the team in relative Corsi. Backchecking, supporting your defenceman and covering your man in the defensive zone is what we really need from our #1 C. Not even expecting Backlund level defensive awareness, let alone Bergeron. An average Corsi would be a huge upgrade. And not picking on Monahan, as Ryan is dead last on the team here. Save the hits for the forecheck.
