Best to build the best 4th line you can with what is left. Monahan needs to fit into that construct IMO, not the other way around.

Correct.
Why try and salvage Monny by moving him up to better line mates when the result seems to be to kill that line.
Better to bite the bullet and limit the damage he can do by limiting his minutes to the 4th line.
