I realize some will say highlights are pretty biased view on a player but to have as many highlights or contribution to other's highlights as Mony does, still requires him to be a quality player.
Too many "he's crap" takes around here. He's no Elite 1C but he's still a 1C/2C that plays in the tough areas and therefore gets injured but generally puts up decent points despite that.

He’s been on the market for over a year now. Considering how rarely #1/2 Cs become available, if the rest of the league thought as highly of him as you do, another GM would have made a decent offer to Treliving by now.
Monahan is good at sniping and average to poor at all the other things expected of an NHL centre. There was in interview with a director of player of personal for another team a year or so ago where he said Monahan is an extremely difficult player to evaluate because he doesn’t do most of the things NHL centres are expected to do - gaining entry, distributing the puck, back-checking, supporting the D down low.
Pre-swoon Monahan had less value than fans around here think because he was one-dimensional. Now that he isn’t even potting goals at the rate he used to, he’s worth even less. He’s basically Mike Hoffman with health question marks.
