Agreed. Penciling Monahan into a third line centre role that he has never been suited for, let alone after two surgeries and a massive decline in play, is suicidal for a team with divisional championships on it's radar.
In a perfect world, Backlund should be in that 3rd line slot with a more offensively minded 2C above him. Is this doable at this point in the offseason? Doesn't seem like it, but I would certainly take a run at Stastny as a guy that can sort of split the gap for one season if it came down to it.
Either way I agree, Monahan should be eating popcorn on this team with the occasional shot on the 4th line if he's ever ready to play again.
