I noticed that Monahan has been gradually getting back to form and looks better every game. I don't doubt his work ethic or talent. His struggles are almost certainly injury related. As long as Sutter manages his ice-time and deployment as he has been, I expect Monahan to be an important player this season.
Deployment is Sutter's specialty. He excels at finding a niche for players.
