I remember looking at the draft projections with 20 games to go last year, and thinking if we didn't get Mackinnon, he's the guy I'd want. Not that I knew anything, but just seemed like there was a good chance a guy playing on a bad team in a more defensive league than the Q was going to be under-rated. As opposed to someone like Drouin playing with MacKinnon in the Q. I don't think it would be a bad bet to bet on Monahan ending up the second best forward in that draft.
I think the question the Flames have to ask is where is he going to develop better. Just seems like all things considered, the OHL might be a wasted year at this point, and he'll be a better player over the next couple years for playing in Calgary this year.
