Monahan is providing Johnny with zero help as he's not asserting himself in anyway on the game. An undersized winger needs help physically and my best guess is that he's just tired of going it alone. Sorry, but your supposed number 1 centre should be making an impact in many ways and Monahan is nothing more than a wet, flaccid noodle for this franchise. The Flames are never winning in the post season with a player like him in anything beyond a secondary role.

Once Monahan is taken out of his comfort zone on the first line and he'ss required to be more defensive by checking and being more physical- rather than just being a sniper - he is nothing more than an $80,000 US per game boat anchor. He has zero defensive awareness, milk can turn faster and he is the least engaged core player we have.
