Over a point per game this season. 3 30 goal seasons, hasn't scored less than 22 in his 6 year career. 24 years old.
Didn't show up for these playoffs, but I really don't think we can write him off as a non playoff guy. Had 4 goals in 4 games in 2017. Only his 3rd playoffs on a young inexperienced team.
I would not trade this guy, unless the return was something you could 1000% not say no to

Don't Oiler up the trading of Sean Monahan. Everything the organization says, until they actually trade him, should reinforce that Monahan is a core player and we expect him to be a Flame for life.
He puts up great numbers. While there is a Gaudreau effect, he's also the second best offensive player on this team.
But they aren't a young team anymore. This was their third post-season, and they had all the ingredients. The top line did not have another gear, and it's fair to ask at this point if it's because Monahan doesn't have another gear.
I think it will come out that Sean was hurt at some point after Christmas. He was not the same player in the second half of the season.
His unwillingness to engage physically is really difficult to ignore/excuse after a series like this.
