However, what Love was doing was clearly trolling and there was no need for the other poster to link to some Reddit thread with a bunch of bitter banned posters to stir the pot. There are only a couple of current posters I think belong to the board who are here because they feed off stirring the pot, I am not making them, they are not hard to figure out who they are. I think we tend to forget in our passion for the Flames we are all on the same side here.

I don't know. Monahan is definitely in the bottom half of the league for #1 centres, I agree with that. I also agree that when he isn't scoring he is basically a no-impact guy.
But I'd say Backlund is one of the better #2 centers in the league. Especially in a shutdown role.
Janko is not a very good #3 imo. I know a lot of people on the forum are higher on this guy than I am but he doesn't bring much IMO. Good penalty killer (although not lately).
Ryan is one of the top #4 centres in the league and plays a huge role on the team. I think he is maybe top 5 in the league?
Overall, there are a lot of teams with better centre depth than us. No doubt. But weakest part of the team? I'd still say goaltending.
