Monahan is many things but I would never describe him as a playmaker or possession-driver which is what I think you needed with Iginla.
Craig Conroy was a poor-man's version of those things which is why Iginla's best years (arguably) were as he played next to Connie.

Don’t forget, Iggy wasn’t just a sniper. When he played with Cammalleri in 08-09, he worked as more of a setup man once he had someone to dish the puck to who would finish. I’d bet with Monahan it would have been somewhat similar.
