- Monahan suffered a series of injuries. When they signed the deal they weren't signing a 4th liner and for most of the contract he was strong.

So yes the Neal thing was an error. But one that had a rationale behind it.

The 20/20 thing on Monahan is irritating. As if the Flames should have anticipated his injuries.
I think you can include 6M on the third defence pairing. Shame as I really enjoyed watching those two put the fear of god into forwards, something we have been missing for a long time. Would love to see them both back but I guess they will both be gone unless JG walks.
