I think this is a premature conclusion.
Monahan and Backlund have more recently been among the team's best forwards, and the production is starting to increase. And this makes a lot of sense—recovery from major surgery can often take a very long time as it seems to have for Monahan, and Backlund typically plays his best hockey in the second-half.
