That is huge praise.

It amazing how Gaudreau's arrival this year has in some way overshadowed just what Monahan is doing. Quietly becoming the Flames best forward at 20 years of age, just amazing hands, so smart and although he won't be a bruiser, a big body that can't be pushed around. I'm sure he likes the attention on little JG as well.
But what a fricken steal at #6. Of course it's debatable, and TBD, but he may just end up being the best player out of that draft class. I know, I know, so so early to say that, but it's crazy to think he's this good already and we took him #6 overall.
