Suffice to say people outside this forum don’t see them at anywhere near the same level.
Monahan is not a very good C unfortunately. It's reality Flames fans have a hard time accepting. As Johnny goes so does Monahan. The suggestion that Johnny needs Monahan as much if not more is flat out laughable.

This will be clear when they are separated. Probably in the next 12 months or so after another disappointing playoffs.

For the record, Johnny is very flawed as well. But he makes players around him better. He loves carrying the puck so he gets chased around a lot, yet he still makes plays. No one chases Monahan, he hardly ever has the puck. Very quiet player that is great at one thing, finishing Johnny's plays.
