Send him down before he becomes accustomed to it
He is only just 19 .... He has a good taste of how big and fast the NHL is. He needs to go and knock and play a big man's role against some guys his age. Focus on winning 60% of his faceoffs. Next year he will be bigger and faster and be more willing and able to play the role the Flames are counting on him for.
Jonathan Toews spent a full year in the NCAA after being drafted 3rd overall.
Very similar body types and hopefully Monahan turns out like Toews.

Toews doesn't really hit, since you're complaining about physicality and all. Monahan will get better in the dot by playing in the NHL, not by dominating the OHL.
