I’d imagine Monahan’s ES ice time has dropped since the line switch compared to Lindholm. Monahan’s line takes really short shifts which I think is too bad, because they aren’t on long enough to develop plays. Monahan is also getting less PP time because he’s not on Unit 1 and he’s been put on PK which evens out the ice time, but obviously not the production.

I think Sutter is trying to salvage some value and production from Monny.
Monny can’t shoot, so Sutter is trying to turn him into a defensively responsible checking centre. Perhaps at some stage Monny will rediscover his shot, which I think is injury related. But he hasn’t had it for quite some time.
I think Monny was the player who was holding Johnny back.
