Monahan and Colborne are proof (especially Monahan) that at the very least this coaching staff has correctly identified what is best for both of those players and how to use both of those players to best "enhance" their development at this point in time.
- Monahan is exceeding expectations - at the very least that means the team has correctly positioned and moved him along. Part of development
- Colborne is slowly moving towards being a legitimate NHL forward. Something he wasn't doing in other organizations. Again, showing that this staff has correctly assesed his needs "in this moment" - part of development.
Where I agree with you is neither are examples of the Flames overall or long term abilities to develop players. Much more time required for that, much larger sample size required as well. But they are great cases to point to the fact that these coaches can properly identify needs and strategies to develop for at least some of the young talent on this team.
