This has nailed it. Monahan and Bennett are very young and a very good 1-2 punch down the middle, they are not elite yet but they are very young and are knocking on the door of elitism centers.
There are some problems the Flames have now:
-There is too much dead weight on the team, half of that coming off, at the end of the year.
-New coach, takes time to learn the system.
-Johnny's contract should have been earlier and he should have not missed any training cap with the Flames.
-Monahan's injury, was unfortunate and it has derailed him a bit, had he played at the World Cup, he could have gotten off to a very good start with Flames.
-The Flames need another top 6 forward(not a top 7 or top 8 or top 9 but a top 6), preferably a top 6 RW, that can score.
-More structure on the PP, this is just shocking, how bad the PP is, even with the new coaching.
-Bennett needs more time develop.
There are probably others but I don't think the centers are the Flames problem here.
