Yeah there’s no dangler, though I think Monahan’s actual passing is OK. Dube seems to stick handle his way into trouble as opposed to getting out of trouble. He certainly has speed and a hard shot.
I’m not sure they actually need a dangler but they do need a relatively high IQ player. Even Lucic would be an improvement.
