I'd prefer it of Monahan or Lindholm don't make the Flames next year.
It never hurts to play another year in juniors or in Europe. But you can ruin a prospect if you rush him to the NHL

I don't expect them to rush the guys they pick but thats what the prospect camp is for. Horak shone through the one two years ago and made the team. If they pick Lindholm and he does the same it is safe to bet he makes the team or goes to the AHL to develop and get accustom the the North American game. Monahan cannot go to Abby so it would be back to Junior with him. Nichushkin the risk is if they have to send him down for whatever reason he will go straight back to Russia and finish off his contract. I feel he can play here next season but the real question is, is he ready to?
