In that time frame of 2 calendar years Monahan is 33rd among NHL C's for points. 28th if you go back 3 years. Thats clearly way above average for a 2C. In that time I would also say that defensively he has improved in leaps and bounds from his earlier years.
He is a pretty good player who has clearly struggled offensively the last while.
Its Sutters task to get him back to where he can be.
