Monahan could be asked a simple question do you want a chance at winning a medal at the WJC's or would you rather play against guys like Toews and have a legitimate chance of being nominated for the Calder trophy?
Personally i don't think the Flames will allow Monahan to play for team Canada given his importance to the Flames currently. Regardless of this hairline fracture to his foot.
As a STH i pay to see him on the Flames not the WJC's.
Also wouldn't Monahan lose a fair amount of money for the time he is away at the WJC's compared to what he is making at the NHL elc?
