Personally, if it came down to Monahan vs Laine, I don't think position really bears much influence on the decision, as I believe Backlund performs far more "number one centre" duties on this roster than Monahan. It really comes down to who you expect to be the better point producer, and I think Laine takes that.

Projecting to a regular 50? I'd say no one, but if pressed, I'm betting Matthews.
