We haven't had any luck with drafting Swedish player playing in Europe in the past few years so I have to say Monahan. He might be the guy that Calgary is looking for a centre. 6'2" 78 points on 58 games playing for a bad Ottawa 67s team. I see a lot of potential on this guy. He could be our next Doug Gilmour or Joe Nieuwendyk who can play in both offensive and defensive game. Besides I do not want to give Edmonton Oilers a chance to grab the guy if Calgary pass on him.
I know Lindholm have this gifted offensive skills but he plays in Sweden where hitting is not much of a norm. Calgary needed to get bigger so I think Monahan will fit the bill. Too bad we don't have any chance on a much skilled McKinnon but Monahan will do just fine.
