I've never been a Monahan supporter since day 1, I always hated that his skating was suspect when he was drafted, he was the leading scorer on an Ottawa 67s team that was the worse, and I've been wanting him to be traded from when I thought he was "overacheiving". I've always thought people were crazy when comparing him to Toews.
However, it amazes me that people all of a sudden think this guy is a bottom 6 player. I still think he's at the least a 2nd line centre. He still has the IQ and a good shot and his skating has improved somewhat. He looked pretty good with Mangiapane and Dube but a few screwups relegated him to play with Lucic and Lewis.
