From listening to Treliving the other day I almost thought he let it slip that Monahan was still recovering from surgery and that the lessened even strength responsibilities was the final phase of his recovery.
Maybe that's done.
For sure I'm reading a lot into a comment, but it sounded like he almost gave that away but then backed it off.
Anyway, if that's the case this was always the plan and Monahan didn't have a whole lot to whine about.
These lines provide decent balance and get Mangiapane and Monahan a bigger role which I think is huge for scoring depth.
And Dube / Backlund on a third line is no slouch either.
Pitlick to the fourth gives Lucic someone to play with.
