I’ve also never watched a Flames game and thought “wow Monahan really left it all out there tonight”
I don't think the Monahan line is the first line anymore. Lindholm leads in even strength ice-time and gets almost the same amount of PP ice-time, and way more SH ice-time.

Lindholm and Monahan are basically 1A and 1B with Lindholm being used slightly more, and in more critical situations.
