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.
I think it’s more about keeping Dube and Lucic together (and Dube at C) than about Monahan. What he hasn’t tried is Monahan on Dube’s wing (and maybe taking the harder faceoffs).
