He’s not the problem. The problem is that only one of the two “top six” centres on this team is actually producing like one.
Honestly if Monahan can’t take care of his own end AND produce offense, maybe he should just stick to producing offense because having Lindholm and Backlund as 200 foot centres should be enough. Those are two guys who get Selke votes.

Were we contenders, we would rely on Backlund to dominate the other team’s 3rd and 4th lines while being able to get us to the next shift against the elites when they happened to match up.
Just my view.
