It was evident to anyone that wasn't directly looking for a scapegoat as the season wore on that Monahan was playing through something serious for a large chunk of the year.
Trading Monahan now would be a poor idea.

Thanks for this. I didn't remember Monahan's start the same way, so went back and looked. He was very productive the first 5 games, with 2 goals and 7 points. Game 6 was bad, scoreless and zero SOG. His production fell off from that point forward.
Unfortunately he's still a big question mark going forward. A very poor 2019-20 season doesn't inspire confidence, although he had two excellent games vs Winnipeg in the playin round.
