Monahan is a finisher. The problem with Monahan is he is only as good as his linemates are playing. This year Gaudreau was terrible. Lindholm was invisible. That was not going to bode well for Monahan. I would keep him and try to bring in another center that can push Backlund down to the third line, where he belongs. Actually, I
d be trading Backlund, but that's a different thread. Monahan is a guy I keep and try to play him on the second line with Tkachuk and Mangipagne. Find another pivot to play up top, hopefully with Hall and Lindholm.
