Johnny is a special guy and he's only in year 2. Even my casual hockey friends are taking notice of the guy.

Yes and no. Your center man and top d- pair are extremely important.
You can potentially win without star wingers, buy you can't win without a star C and D.
Lucky for us, in addition to superstar Johnny at wing, the Flames have Mony and Bennett at C, and Gio, Brodie and Hamilton at D.
Personally, I don't think Sean Monahan gets enough credit, but that's a discussion for another time.
