I think Monohan has a good passing ability but his decision making is often poor. He gives the puck up by throwing blind passes towards the slot far too often for my liking. Seems like he just tries too hard to make the difficult play and it only seems to work out one in 20 times (if that). Just want him to pick his spots better

Versteeg is probably our best passer on the Forward ranks. IMO we haven't had a real setup man since Tanguay left.

I think it was Bingo and some other guy who came up with the theory that Monahan is deferring to Johnny too much and thereby rendering himself less effective. Monahan is very effective and capable in his own right. He needs to start being himself on the ice, and Johnny and him need to compliment each other.

IMO - he's looked pretty good since Johnny has gone down. I'm obviously not saying Johnny brings him down or anything like that, but Monahan has been looking to Johnny to drive the play when he is capable of doing it himself as well. He needs to stop forcing plays, and just do the simple and effective thing that has made him the highest scoring pick of 2013.
