As constructed the Flames are the definition of boned. Good enough to contend for the playoffs, but incapable of producing the speed and intensity necessary to compete in the playoffs. Keep doing this for a couple of years and they will have an overly seasoned roster, with greatly diminished assets. If management and the fabase don't realize this, we will get what we deserve.
I don't get the hate of Monahan by some. He's a good soldier, and stepped up his overall game this year, but he doesn't have the skill set to carry a first line. Is that a sin? If he's demanding to be on a first line or reluctant to accept a lesser offensive role, then that's a problem, but has anyone heard that is the case? It may be that he needs to be moved for the team to gain some picks/assets to retool, but getting rid of him for the sake of ridding the team of an anchor is foolishness.
