Monahan thrives in a game where the puck is in the middle of the ice, where he can use the puck movement across the ice to find soft spots and convert. The Flames have gone to a more north-south, play-along-the-boards style, and it doesn't fit his game. I think his only hope of recovering his game is to be traded to a team that uses the middle of the ice and his skillset. He's not going to recover here in Calgary with the style being played.
