Monahan will be fine. The Flames will be fine in the long run with him and Bennett centring top two lines.
Not to pick on you, but I hear this argument a lot. How do you define "will be fine"? A Stanley Cup champion? Because that is the question in my mind. Not whether Monahan and Bennett are fine players, or even very good players, but will they be good enough to anchor a championship team?

Seems like that is something worth debating, until such time as the answer becomes clearer.
