The people saying they think Monahan is better or even close to as good for the Flames as MacKinnon are on crack. You can't expect the team to purposefully tank but you're talking about a 1st/2nd line centre next year vs a guy who is going to need at least another year of junior who might only end up being a 3rd liner. Moving up from 7th-8th into the top 3 would cost both our other 1st rounders and basically negate the Iginla/Bouwmeester returns.
I mean I understand being positive as the Flames results are out of our hands but after a point it just becomes ridiculous.
