When will Monahan ever get the credit he is due?

What credit is he due? He's one of the best in the league at one thing, scoring from 10 feet in. He's not one of the best at all the other things. He does his one thing very very well.

He's not a strong skater. He's an average playmaker (I guess). He's not a strong defensive player. He's the opposite of physical. He's above average on faceoffs.

He is what he is, but that's not a top end center.

If the games on the line and Gaudreau isn't on his line, I probably want any of those other players on the ice for my team over him in that situation.

That said, by all means I hope he shows something else/more moving forward.
