The majority of the time, Monahan relies on Johnny to make the plays. He either goes on a scoring tear or is completely invisible. He's just so one dimensional, and has to be considered for a trade. In my opinion, Johnny needs a more experienced forward/veteran playing as his centre to hold him more accountable and to mentor him along.
Package 23 with Brodie/Kylington for a decent return. Or package him with James Neal for a cap/contract dump.

That's my thinking too.
Monahan is a moveable asset, and that Neal contract is an albatross. The Flames have the pieces to make either/both moves happen and strengthen the team overall. There's still a lot of strength throughout the lineup, but they need another top end offensive driver and an out for that bad contract.
