Monahan’s problem is not just injuries. His skillset is limited.

None of those guys were broken in the same way Monahan is though. Monahan's season has ended early (or should have ended early) for like 5 seasons in a row now and his play has fallen off a cliff. There are certainly not tons of examples of guys who have experienced what he has physically who have rebounded to have strong ends to their careers.
Theofleury nailed it above, groin and hip surgeries for a guy who can't skate well + wrist surgeries for a guy whose best asset is his shot is not a good combination. Monahan may rebound to contribute "something" for a team in the future but it will take a miracle to get back anywhere close to what he was.
