No idea why Love has an axe to grind with Monahan. It's not like the Flames passed on somebody better. He was a slam dunk pick at 6th and has performed very admirably in the NHL.
It is not like he is overrated here either. I can't recall anyone arguing that he is one of the top centers in the game. Would the Flames be a better team if they had Crosby or Malkin, or Mackinnon, or Barkov or any of the dozen to twenty centers in the league that are better than Monahan? Sure, but they don't, so why bother worrying about it. They have Monahan and he has good chemistry with Johnny and he scores a lot of goals consistently.
What's not to like?
