Monahan was always a cerebral, two way centre until he met Johnny and turned in to a tic-tac-toe garbage goal one timer specialist. He’s always has way more assists than goals in his career.

I sound like a broken record; but Johnny and Monahan needs to be separated. It’s gone stale and one dimensional.

Monahan is a very gifted and smart player. He will adapt, but is kept being forced in to the same role since Johnny keeps playing the exact same way. Monahan tried this year to change his game which was obvious if you watched him.

Split them up. Let him play with MT and Mangiapane or find another scoring winger. Let JG play with Lindholm and Backlund so the puck carrying and zone entries gets more balanced. Let him centre Lindholm and whoever, doesn’t matter, just split them up.
