He's the 1st line center and it's a legit topic to discuss what happened leading up and into the playoffs.

I think there are probably two distinct questions
1. Can Monahan sustain a level of play that is closer to what we saw in the first half of the year.
2. Does he have another level above that, not in terms of production, but in terms of other elements of the game
And then the question is do you need #2 to happen (which I view is probably unlikely) or if he was the player we saw in H1 that it would be enough for the Flames to be a contender?
