Monahan is still a quality centre, though he is not a game-breaker superstar, similar to Jeff Carter in LA through 2011-2015

If we compare that to him in 2019/2020, he's a better C than RW.
If we compare this season to 2018/2019, he's a better RW than C.

I don't think either data set really says he's better at Centre or Right-Wing because how good he looked in 18/19 as a RW was soured by the 19/20 season - but there's a huge team/line impact on it.
...Side note - jeez, Geoff Ward really should never have been given the head coach job based on his 19/20 work.
