I think it’s fair to say that injuries have contributed to Monahan’s willingness to get into the dirty areas. Whether he is hurt now or not, he no longer is as engaged in the battle areas and his stats are suffering for it.
If your not going to shut him down, at least move him away from Johnny. Johnny’s game is so reliant on a quick trigger centre from his wing that neither are effective.
I think we have already seen the best monahan has to offer, he might be better suited in a shutdown center type role to extend his career
