He's not soft despite some really hot takes in here. He's not a banger either though. But to be fair he's laid out more than few players this year with his hitting.
People just don't like Monahan, but they don't like him for all the wrong narratives.

All true, maybe he doesn't get the credit for being tougher than he seems. It still hasn't translated into the Flames being a winning team. That should be the paramount factor in the Flames roster decisions. I hope Monahan makes a full recovery and gets his game back, but if the Flames need to move on from him to improve, so be it.
