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.

I thought Sutter said that was the plan all along? At any rate, Monahan has definitely looked better (faster, more aggressive) the last couple of games, specifically the last one. What a bonus if that line puts up some offense. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
