The hard part about that is it sets you up for Sam Bennett scenarios. If the flames resign dube mangiapane Johnny Tkachuk and keep monahan what is the value of zary or Pelletier? Where are they going to play? 4th line? Sounds like a Sam Bennett scenario
The difference between monahan and Bennett might be that monahan was here first and established himself first. Monahan has declined and IMO he used to be a very good player but if Sam got his spot first we might have seen monahan sitting on the 4th line like Sam did
Flames seem to be very healthy over the years and that could have hurt us but when I watch this team right now I’m ok with our 3rd and 4th line if we had guys like barkov and huberdeau tearing up the league right now
