I think Johnny should be used further down the line up this way he is paired against players who can't defend him as easily. If the Flames are serious about using talent throughout the line up this would be a good move. Top line needs to be structured for playoff hockey; Guys with stamina who can play a physically dominating game including dump and chade. Johnny and Monahan have the offensive ability during the season, but can hardly challenge, wear down other top lines during a playoff series.
