I think they should actually put Monahan and Dube playing center responsibilities on that line if they want Dube to be a center.
Dube also is poor at faceoffs so having Monahan on that line would help.
Monahan isn't what he was 3 seasons ago, but he's still being wasted playing with Lewis and Richardson.

Lucic is OK on a line with Monahan, because he at least knows where to pass or how to be in scoring position, but with Lewis or Richardson it’s just not as effective. Monahan was on his own three or four times in the offensive zone last night.
With Dube and Mangiapane? I originally thought that would work, but I’m now wondering if their pave is just too quick and Monahan would be behind the play. Though I can’t say I agree with the comment that he looks slower than last season - I think his skating is slightly better.
