I really don’t understand the Monahan hate here, the guy has done everything that’s been asked of him and more and has battled through injuries his entire career. It’s not his fault he’s been played in a role that’s more than what he is and he’s still been able to produce some pretty productive and consistent seasons in that time frame. It takes two hands to clap so the ‘he played with Johnny so that’s why’ argument gets old especially considering the fact that he’s a center who had put up 5 straight seasons of 50-52 % in the circle.

He’s certainly worth more than a couple 2nd rounders at this point the guy isn’t an Arvidsson or Bennett, he’s a top 6 Center who plays through injuries and with a teams top wingers at a great cap hit. Can we give the guy just a little more respect?
