Monahan is an incredible centerman that the Flames are extremely lucky to have, especially on a long term deal. Johnny brings something different to the table, but it doesn't diminish what Monahan brings to the table (which IMO, is even more valuable because he's a big centerman).
Just look at that list of players.

That list is a little misleading as the 2012-13 strike wipes out about 3 draft classes of players from having the opportunity to even get close to 80 goals during their first 3 years. Guys like Eberle (68 goals) and Skinner (64 goals) would have been on pace to hit 80 goals. Give them an extra 34 games and they'd both likely hit that mark too, along with a handful of others.
