Bergeron or O'Reilly aren't much more (if any) dynamic than Monahan, and not much faster. They just commit to playing hard, playing 200' and being great at FO. Monahan can do that if he wants to. Treliving and Peters need to have a good read on that. If they think he won't, then Treliving needs to find a real #1C, whether by trading Monahan or finding someone to slot ahead of him (easier said than done).
