IMO there is no way i keep him in the line-up over Lewis at this point considering the replacement option for each.
Monahan has 9 ES points this year in 63 games. 9.

He can do more with the puck than Lewis. Plays are literally dying Lewis' stick 9 out of 10 times he gets the puck.
His brain (and feet) have him in the right spot to play defense, but he's rough in transition.
So I'm not making a "Monahan is great" argument, but when compared to Lewis (and to a lesser extend Lucic) less plays are dying on Monahan's stick than the other two.
