Technicalities about line names aside, Monahan's performance hasn't been good enough as a top 6 forward. Hopefully it is just getting back to speed after his surgery, but his drop off is pretty concerning, the Flames obviously need him to be what he was a couple years ago. If he can't get there its a big setback for the team.
