So out of the heavy players Colborne, Bouma, Jones and Ferland there is only one in the top 6. Bennett will be instigating and need someone to cover his back...
It will be interesting to see if the other teams are going to be content to skate with the Flames as they did last year or focus a bit more on playing them physically.
Not often does a top line have 2 small guys on it and Monahan does not play overly aggressive.
Last year Monahan started the season between Glencross and Jones.
Over the whole season at even strength Monahan's linemates:
JIRIHUDLER 50.6%
JOHNGAUDREAU 45.2
CURTISGLENCROSS 29.1
DAVIDJONES 25.8
JOECOLBORNE 12.3
