It's not so much of an expectation of Monahan but more of the Flames

Judge the kid accordingly and don't do what the Klowens did to the North and rush him into the NHL just because he was a high first rounder. If he isn't physically ready don't rush him just to show case him.

On the other hand, if he really isn't going to benefit from another year in Junior then I wouldn't mind him getting some sheltered minutes in Calgary/Abbotsford.
