Completely agree. And I suspect that Sutter notices that too and is happy with his performance. Take the PP. He battled and recovered multiple pucks that his team mates were too ####ing lazy to battle for. Monahan is a sniper, but he's being forced to play the puck recovery role. Yeah, of course his point totals are going to take a hit. When your playing with Johnny "Pablo Escobar" Gaudreau, and he's blowing snow all night, you're not going to get the puck in scoring areas very much.
