Monahan has great hands, particularly in tight, but he's not blasting one-timer from the half-boards. And while Ferland has a great shot, he's far, far from a proven scorer as a professional.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy that Jagr signed, as an upgrade at RW was desperately needed. But I just don't think that Jagr's immense talents that still remain are an ideal match for the gaps in the Flames offensive toolbox. A guy who can finish from the outside is what the team needed and sadly I think they still do.
