I am a big Monahan fan, the guy is a consistent clutch player and puts up goals and assists with the best of them. His production is very very valuable to the Flames and a lot of that has to do with the connection with Johnny, they go hand in hand.
A friend of mine put it into NFL terms the other day and it makes sense if you think about it objectively.
Monahan is like a Phillip Rivers of the LA Chargers, put's up the numbers, does a lot of things really really well and is a key piece of the team. What you really really really need if you want to go deep, win a championship or two and be consistently deep in the post season is a Tom Brady.
Monahan is young, effective and puts up in the numbers. We will need to see how things transpire this season and than need to have a hard look at things from an entire team perspective.
