Right, that's the point I'm making. I'm not asking him to become a player he can't possibly be. He just needs to re-direct that new found aggression of his in front of the night, fighting for space and loose pucks which has never been his game. He's no Tkachuk. I can't even remember the last time he scored a goal on a tip in.
But he has the hands and the big frame to at least stand there and try. Darryl's system actually would benefit players with this style because there's such a big emphasis on high shot volume and constantly funnelling pucks towards the net. It's just a matter of whether Sean Monahan is willing to take the abuse in front of the net.
