Monahan's offensive game is down the middle. I don't know that I see him busting in around checks on the wing. I think he best D is played in the middle as well - he's not bad at slot coverage. But I think he's not quick enough to play D on the wings, or physical enough to win defensive battles on the half boards.
Whereas Lindholm is fine at C but he's also a good forechecker and defensive zone skater.
FWIW, Monahan is also better at faceoffs. But that's just starting position.
