Let's all keep blaming Monahan for every little thing!
Monahan has a better pts/60 at even strength than Johhny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk this season
Monahan leads this team in primary assists/60 at even strength this season.
Monahan has outscored both Mangiapane and Dube since the line has been put together.
Yet it's always Monahan's fault. Strange.

Monahan is fully being used like a 3rd line player at 5v5 and is producing like a low-end 3rd/high-end 4th liner.
Gaudreau is being used like a 1st liner and is producing like a 1st line player.
When is Monahan no longer a top-6 Center away from Gaudreau?
