Again, stats can easily be manipulated, that is why I am not trying to just show one side of a picture. I just hope that if the Flames can keep up with their current pace, other teams will be trying to use their first lines to 'defend' Monahan and not the other way around. That said, I don't think we will see a great improvement in our faceoffs, or PK once Stajan draws into the lineup.

Fair enough. Monahan sure has gotten good for a sophomore. That said, I still think that having two guys who are decent on draws is better than one (Jooris is good as well, though I suppose his matchups aren't the same).
For sure Stajan is moving down the depth chart, and assuming Bennett is as advertised, there may no longer be room (assuming Backlund is ever going to be healthy). I like both Backlund and Stajan but they are definitely on different curves.
