Of course, you can’t ignore those things.

I don't understand what you are suggesting. Are you saying that he wouldn't be effective outside of his linemates in Colorado? What is the evidence to suggest that?

It seems silly to hold it against a player that would be a 1st liner on any team in the league for also playing with other 1st liners. I would counter that MacKinnon and Rantannen would probably miss him as much or more than he would miss them.

Also, the mention of Monahan requiring surgery is brief in passing, so I wouldn't take it to mean that it's anything we haven't already heard about.
My guess is that Friedman was talking out his ass and someone from inside the Flames set him straight.
