Who else saw their numbers decline from 18-19 to 19-20? Oh, just, you know, Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk, and Gio

Players decline. It happens. You can look for reasons and excuses for Monahan’s decline all you want. But it doesn’t really matter why at this point. I personally don’t believe Monahan will play top 6 C for the Flames or any other team again. And unless he undergoes a dramatic transformation in his playstyle - including becoming a much better skater at the age of 27 - he’ll have trouble sticking in the bottom 6 as well. If he can regain his scoring touch, he might find a role as a winger and PP specialist.
