It seems that the 3 negatives outweigh the one positive, even if we assume everything else is equal. Add to it that the coach is a Greg Gilbert in the worst possible scenario (playing the same teams over and over), and Bob's your uncle, as the kids say...

I think monahan is a major conundrum also. We've watched a perennial 30 goal guy become a vacuum of offense 5on5 over this season and last. He was basically good at one thing and average at everything else. He's lost even that 1 attribute that made anything above average. Sad
