Monahan 2 pts in 7 games, although received limited ice time initially
Gaudreau 10 pts in 7 games with arguably a weaker and less experienced team.
If Monahan's play warranted staying on the Flames roster out of camp, then unless there's a large, unforeseen regression on Johnny's part (which, let's face it, won't be likely) then regardless of how Treliving wants to put it, he's going to be and should be on the team. AHL time would just be postponing the inevitable. I fully expect him to play his way on the team, and then some.
