Only thing Monahan is better at is scoring goals. And staying healthy for a full season.

PPG don't matter as much as actual real life points. If he can't stay healthy the points per game don't matter, and Monahan closed the gap defensively quite a bit last season, he was excellent. GG had him playing back in front of his own net, under Hartley his defensive responsibilities were lessened. Monahan stepped up to that challenge big time.
