Monahan did not drive play at 5v5 play. Putting up 8 points in 10 games is still impressive though. If he could figure out a way to be a better 5v5 player, it would be great for this team - just like if Bennett can drive play as a 3rd line centre with some solid wingers. It takes all sorts of players to win a cup, and Monahan and Gaudreau have drawn fair criticism for lacklustre play at even strength, while Bennett did quite excellently for his role on the team.

I never once suggested Bennett didn't exceed expectations, nor that Gaudreau and Monahan weren't disappointing. But Bennett's play is also being made out to be more than it is, that line was ####ing terrible defensively, much of that on Bennett and his numerous giveaways.
