Backlund and Coleman are similar. Create a ton of chances don’t give up many but not great at finishing those chances. Add mangiapane who finishes and you have a great looking line now

Right. I was responding to the claims that it is Brett Richie that is responsible for Monahans lack of production when in fact Monahan has played with others much more than scapegoat Ritchie.
The reality is you could fill Sean Monahans even strength production with a guy making league min. See Trevor Lewis or Adam Ruzicka. Instead we are talking about a 6.375 price tag. As you said, guys that make that money are paid to finish. Make their linemates better. Hes failing. Hes definitely the elephant in the room on this team.
