Monahan's two way play is grossly under rated. He's the Flames best faceoff man and is that finisher in the middle we've long wanted. Oh, but he's not Connor McHobo or Nathan Mc####face, so we have to run him out of town. Get real. Even in his worst year he was still better than any Flames center. But that would be so Calgary. Run a core player out of town because they have a bad shortened season when nothing went right for the team, and throw all your eggs in the baskets of players who did worse or didn't show up at all during the season, but had a great mini-tournament.

I don't hate Monahan but this line of thinking is exactly why the organization is where they are.
Best C in 25 years for a franchise who has bombed over 25 years can't be good enough anymore.
Its time to look at what better organizations have and ask how can we get that. The bar needs to be raised from accepting the best mediocre we can get.
