You love shower Monahan with love, but as the so called “first line” center of this team, you’d think he’d be able to produce a little bit more with the the top scoring even strength winger of this team in Mangiapane. Andrew’s scoring has actually stalled since he started playing with Monahan. Monahan hasn’t raised the level of his game one bit and you would expect that from a $6M center. There’s no grey in the current situation the Flames find themselves in, you either score to help your team win or you don’t score. Also, last I checked, the current top line is barely getting scored on either, their goals for vs goals against looks pretty good to me.
It sounds more like you’re making a lot of excuses. Fact is, Gaudreau has been consistently more dangerous and consistently more productive now that he’s gotten away from Monahan. Lindholm is a better center than Monahan in every facet of the game and he’s helped get the most out of #13 which is something #23 hasn’t been able to do since 2019.

I don't "shower Monahan with love". I'd rather he was recast. I just think he's not a top centre but working hard to try and contribute. Gaudreau is underwhelming all over the ice except for a couple shifts a game where he tries hard. Even his assist yesterday was fluky.
Lucic was a bit of hyperbole, but at least he makes things happen.
I guarantee you Monahan is higher on Sutter's list of players he likes. He likes Lindholm too. He has issues with the other two.
