Monny has been one of my favourite players since he came into the league, but for the love of God... less Spezza, more Getzlaf.

Spezza was excellent at controlling the puck and the offensive zone in his heyday. he's largely responsible for Heatley turning into that One-T Clapper guy during his stint in Ottawa, as all he had to do was glide around with his stick in the air waiting for Spezza to dish. I would be absolutely thrilled if Monahan gained the ability to possess the puck that way.
can anyone think of an example where a centre with marginal puck carrying skill was able to significantly improve that ability in his mid-20's? I had always assumed that's something you come into the league with, but it would make me feel a lot better if there was even a small chance it could happen.
