My counter to that, is that I don't think Monahan specifically is or was ever 1/3 of a first line you could build around. The first line was obviously reeling almost two years ago, and organizationally we've continued to keep Monahan there despite all the signs that he's simply not dynamic enough for that role.
When a guy like Pierre Luc Dubois was on the market, we should have been shopping Monahan hard. Maybe we did, but I've heard no rumours to support that.

Right but I didn't see the bolded said in that topic either.
It was all about mixing up the lines to find a non stale option and the fact that Monahan was possibly hurt.
I can look again, but I didn't see anything about Monahan being a pretender or fraud and they had better give up on him as a first line option.
