Leading up to the draft last year, TSN gave their ratings of each players abilities including shot, hands, speed, playmaking, and size I think. I remember McKinnon was the only one who scored 5/5 in all categories. Monahan scored 5/5 in all categories except for speed... Pretty sure they gave him a 4/5 for that. I remember the panel saying that he might have the best hands of anyone in the draft except for druin. They also raved about his shot and that it was NHL caliber... We've seen that for sure.
