The Flames were extremely fortunate during the early part of the rebuild to get 2 bona fide stud centers with their top 10 picks. Monahan was the no brainer at 6 and Bennett the same at 4. I was surprised that both players were available when we picked.
They compliment each other so well. Monahan is the big body, cerebral, 2 way centre that plays a strong honest game. Bennett is a fiesty, speedy, dynamic player with an edge.
Both guys have incredible leadership qualities and we are lucky to have both of them
