Absolutely!
My memory maybe failing me, but I remember Regehr didn't play so tough until Darryl got his hands on him, nor was he as good either (though in fairness, he was still a young player that was developing).
Sutter got him to play tough, and he ended up having a 50% increase in production every single year under Darryl.
I would expect nothing less than exactly the same from Monahan. Not sure what he will finish off with this season, but next season will see him at 72 points, and then 108 points! Hope Sutter gets extended so Monahan hits 162 points!
In all seriousness, Darryl will make Monahan a much better 2-way forward. He will just make him compete harder in all 3 zones, though I am not sure how much meaner he will get.
I know you weren't really looking for a response to your post, but I couldn't resist
