Guys who drive play and put up big points: all other centers on this list except Monahan
Guys who put up big points only: Monahan
The reason Monahan isn't a true number one center is because he doesn't drive play. In terms of play driving ability on the flames:
1) johnny
2) Tkachuk
3) backlund
4) Lindholm
5) monahan
He's a number 1 and he works well with Johnny. But it would be great to have a center that is elite at driving play.

I challenge you to prove that he doesn't do either of these with proof. His two way play gets much more downplayed around here, and he does carry the puck more often than people give him credit for. He plays with johnny and johnny is better at it.
