Lets talk about Sean Monahan

Too early? Or does last night's performance give you hope not only about Sean but Coleman and Lewis too?

Maybe I'm naive but I'm feeling a bit better about those three players. They clicked.

Yesterday certainly showed the offensive upside he still has while getting back up to speed (a classic Monahan shot + a slick rush pass is refreshing to see). Doesn't dissuade from the thoughts that he's not a top line centre, but with a more... refreshed view of expectations for him being a middle six offensive centre is where he should be with his skillset.

It doesn't 100% affirm that he will bounce back, but it's a very key first step to have a game like this with his more expanded offenisve profile (at least personally to me he looked more comfortable carrying the puck which is big relative to recent years) to show that there is that upside, that he's on a good path, and that further down the road in the season he has potential to become a solid offensive contributor

Just stay away from Pitlick and you're good.

Monahan when paired with Coleman scores at a higher rate than any other player on our team. In the 62ish minutes with him he has 4 points, without him it’s a goose egg. Attach these players at the hip and give them a decent running mate (for the love of god not Pitlick).

Monahan showed some life so there is some hope for him

Coleman probably can play any line, not a real scorer

Lewis is fine as long as you don’t expect any scoring from him
