The forward group was very close to a one-line team last year, and if you take Gaudreau out of it and promote someone, it makes the 2nd and 3rd line just awful.
Monahan may or may not play, and if he does, it may be short term or hampered by current (or new) injury. He's never been fast, and the league is fast now. Flames would be very lucky indeed if he's capable of anchoring a 3rd line this year.
Unless guys like Dube take a major step in what they bring every game... boy, this looks rough to me. Toffoli should be better than last year, but he's not a kid either. We'll see.

Guess that’s why you play the games. But they need to replace Johnny’s offense somehow. No one currently on the roster is going to do it.
