Completely agree. Monahan's shot is a rare skillset. I think the Flames would be better off finding him a passing winger that will battle in the corners. Lindholm does this well but it isn't in JG's toolbox. JG used to be more dynamic in the rush but teams seems to have figured out how to defend him effectively.
The few looks we've had of Tkachuk and Monahan together looked like dynamite to me.
