These hindsight scenarios make me laugh. Can you imagine the site if Monahan gets demoted to third line after leading the team in goals as a sophomore (2nd on the team as a rookie, without playing with Gaudreau)? Monahan with Versteeg and Frolik? Someone here just said those two were AHL plugs when Bennett was on their line.
Until last year everything worked with Johnny and Monahan, including adding Lindholm - they looked like that was the “next level” ingredient.
