Monahan was recovering from a major injury directly related to his skating that also impacted his ability to take faceoffs.
He suffered that injury early in the season and by all accounts should've gotten proper attention for it far, far earlier than he did.
I don't think he would've fared better under a coach not named Sutter, and I don't expect a rebound to top-line form. Two hip surgeries is no joke.
