They banked on Johnny and Monahan for top line guys, but when the playoffs rolled around it became evident those 2 were not built to lead the team through the playoffs. What made matters worse was those 2 didn't always drive the bus and started to show shades of inconsistency (It also didn't help that Monahan was playing hurt and required several surgeries).
The Flames management miscalculated and came out of that rebuild too soon. Top line needs better players because this team is poorly constructed.
