I'm interested to see if having a legitimate top 6 forward on his wing can help Monahan find some semblance of his former game again. He has shown small flashes and hasn't looked like a walking disaster so it would be nice to see Monahan get going again.
This trade coming at this time gives Monahan time to work with Toffoli or Coleman or whomever he gets to prove he is what the Flames need at #3 or maybe even #2 center. Perhaps that is a part of the timing? Treliving has improved depth and still has time work out a trade for a better center if Monahan doesn't get any better.
