Monahan line is the #1 line and it is a very good #1 line but we really need to get a legit #2 line going, to take some pressure off the 1st line. The Flames have Backlund, Frolik, Bennett, Brouwer, who are a lock to score at 20 goals, so there are tools to work with, another thing to consider is that our D scored around 41 goals, I don't think it is safe to think they can do that again(they probably can but lets not put all our eggs in one basket).
Flames are hoping to build their second line from within. Bennett is the key piece here, and hopefully long term he and Tkachuk give us a solid #2 line at minimum. The real treat will be if they develop as expected we should end up with two pairs that can anchor what are legitimate 1A & 1B lines.
