He may not be the player he was before but if we can find someone like Johnny that can feed him in the slot that is where he excels.
If you need to prop Monahan up just to help his counting stats, I'd suggest the time has probably come to move on. You can probably find a generic 3rd line C who will actually play effective 2 way hockey and contribute more to wins. If Monahan isn't scoring or needs to be a leech to score... that doesn't actually help win games
