I read on HF a lot of Flames fans refer to Monahan as having a bad year or he is slumping. He is on pace for 25 goals and 55pts which is down from last year but certainly not falling off a cliff.
One hot month and he could get right back on the pace he scored last year. In his first season he was heavily sheltered and scored 22 with 34pts. In his next year it was a coming out party 31 goals 62pts. This season teams are specifically targeting him as a player they need to shut down he went from promising young player to number 1 centre in 2 years. He will adapt and improve over time.
The Flames have 3 incredible young forwards to build around.
