This team needs top end talent. Lindholm has been identified as having exceptional talent. The big thing Monahan has going for him is he's big, Canadian and plays in the OHL/QMJHL scouting hub of Ottawa. The more I read and hear about this kid the more I believe he is an average player riding a wave of hype. I'm terrified the Flames draft him and end up with another Rob Niedermayer or (worse) an Eric Nystrom. I don't want guys that have potential to be good, I want guys that have potential to be great. I'm not getting the "great" potential vibe from Monahan.

Well that's kind of a worst case outside of an outright bust. Nothing is guaranteed with any of these kids. I think Lindholm has just as much of a chance to be a 2nd line center as Monahan from what I have read.
