Yup.
I don't know why Sutter seems to be so adamant that Lewis+Monahan should be a thing.
Monahan+Lewis: TOI- 145 Minutes, xGF - 39.01%
Monahan w/o Lewis: TOI- 210 Minutes, xGF - 56.6%
And it's not like other combinations haven't worked:
Lucic-Monahan-Dube: 64.2% xGF - 30 Minutes
Pitlick-Monahan-Dube: 60.8% xGF - 66 Minutes
Mangiapane-Monahan-Coleman: 53.0% xGF - 42 Minutes
Monahan maybe could have had a bounce back season, and he has been good on the PP, but no chance he's going to bounce back at 5v5 playing with Lewis and Richardson.
