Thread:
Flames will never win with johnny as their superstar Change my mind
Ya I totally agree with the original statement of the post, and that's not to be a downer cause they are playing pretty well right now with some horrendous bounces resulting in our goals against.
I'm sure we'll be fine during the season but when it gets to playoff time and there's more stickwork and rough play he just chooses to avoid all of it and it kills us. Especially in our own end and forechecking. Really past the "Monahan isn't good enough" line. Is he franchise..... no of course not but name me 20-25 better C's.
Johnny is great with the puck and sets up a ton of goals for guys and I'm not sure Monny could score more with another guy, but it's pretty hard to be everywhere at once. He has to be first on the forecheck cause Johnny won't retrieve pucks at all, then he needs to bust his ass back to backcheck cause Johnny won't do that either. He does a ton of hard work to cover for him that doesn't show up unless you don't do it and your picking it out of your own net. Perfect example was against Vancouver, play was all outside no threats - Monny battles down low, creates a turnover, then Johnny scores. If they don't score Monahan has to backcheck 200 feet. They're career years' were with Lindholm taking half of that responsibility.
Would love Dubois but if Lindholm keeps playing at a 60-70 point pace he is just as good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cgy_flame_fan</b></div><div>the problem is if we trade gaudreau, who will b the top line puck mover?</div></div>
Yes the Flames would have to change the way they play trading Gaudreau. Would Tkachuk working the boards provide as many opportunities for Monahan? Can they carry they puck in the zone enough when Johnny has done it for them the last 6 years? No sure answer on either but could be food for thought as the current set up hasn't resulted in playoff success.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Don’t tempt us, we’ll do some hella stupid ****.</div></div>
Haha great response. The idea would be predicated on Johnny resigning in Buffalo and finding great success with Eichel. Don't know if either is that unrealistic. If he and Eichel have success and Buffalo can pay him I don't think he'd leave. Just thoughts for a shake up to get Buffalo over that hump. 2nd line C would be resolved by UFA and Cozens/Mittelstadt long term.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>I don't see PHI as a great fit for Gaudreau. I'd love to trade him for Konecny, but it's probably not realistic. A year ago I'm sure it could have been done. I still think you could get Farabee though if you're the Flames and you look at PHI as a good partner</div></div>
Ya they aren't now and maybe that wasn't/isn't their style. Their top 6 is set now, had to be before they signed JVR and then became a top team this year. I'd take that deal in a second though if I could get Farabee and maybe a little more.

The Shake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>You'd probably get more from NSH than just Johansen if such a deal was made. Maybe a pick swap, CGY moves up to 11th and NSH down to 19th.
-Both players are pretty solid in the circle, but again, Johansen is the superior defensive player. Again, I can live with less points out of a #1 C if it means he can shoulder the hard minutes and keep that line above water. A Tkachuk-Johansen-Lindholm line could be really solid.
- I know Monahan has actively tried to improve his overall game, I appreciate that. However, it really detracted from his offensive output. He's still got a long ways to go defensively, even if he's trying hard, if he's not producing offence he doesn't do enough for me. Lots will disagree with me, I just prefer Johansen to Monahan as a #1C. I totally agree, if he didn't get hurt NSH wins a cup.
- If Gaudreau gets traded, I think it's possible the Flames get futures. If Monahan is traded I think it would be something like this, just because it creates a really big hole in the lineup. A Gaudreau trade is easier to stomach for futures, because Tkachuk is a top line LW.</div></div>
Completely agree on Gaudreau, so much easier to replace a winger. Fair points on Johansen, I'm sure many would be split, I prefer Monahan and the possible improvement but yeah year 1 of defensive improvement came at a steep cost offensively.
I would have liked a Gaudreau trade with Philly for one of Konecny or Farabee but I think that time has come and gone with in the last year or 2.

Thread:
The Shake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>Again it comes down to who they are playing with. Monahan has spent essentially his whole career with an elite LW, NSH doesn’t have that, Josi and Weber are the only elite players that the Preds have.
I can live with less production if you’re “1C” can keep his head above water defensively and handle the tough matchups and doesn’t need to be sheltered</div></div>
Great post, it's hard to find legitimate Flames talk here. Johansen is the only realistic Monahan trade option I've thought about that doesn't involve a rebuild of sorts, which is never going to happen.
Side note - I'd do that Johnny trade all day for a young top 3 d-man if we can sign Hall or a top line forward to replace him.
My concern would be it ends up being lateral at best. Personally my view is: If you think you can win a cup in the next 2-3 years make the trade. If not you may be preventing yourself from winning one for the 5 years beyond that. I don't believe any move improves the team enough to win in that 2 years.
Why you could do it:
- They are almost equal players (I use a 3 year sample) at even strength, with Monahan a better scorer and Joho a better defender, Monahan scores more because he is a strong PP guy.
- Best reason to do it by far is Joho is a proven playoff performer and I think his injury cost Nashville a cup.
Here's why I wouldn't and probably why I can't see the Flames improving short term in any Monahan trade:
- As mentioned Monahan is a superior scorer in almost every way and he doesn't get any more offensive zone starts than Joho. Better goal scorer, more 1st assists, more high danger chances, etc. The one area Joho is better is zone entries where Gaudreau does most of the puck carrying for the Flames. I'm not sure I buy better linemates for Mony. Forsberg is an elite scorer and Arvidsson is a top High Danger scoring chance player (similar to Monahan). Those 3 had been a top possession line in hockey for 2-3 years and having multiple Norris caliber d-men on the ice is nice (Josi, Ellis, PK/Weber).
- Joho's work ethic is not ideal. It has been a consistent issue dating back to CBJ and is why he is not likely to get any better than he is now. Evolving Hockey's WAR rating shows Joho already beginning to decline for the last 3 years.
- Whereas Monahan is still improving and actively trying to. I.E. his physical/defensive changes this year. He has parts of a solid defensive game like faceoffs, takeaways, and hard backchecking but consistently makes coverage errors in his own end. Debatable whether he can learn that, but he's only 25 and puts the work in so I would say there is a chance and that would elevate him to a place Joho will never get to.
- Monahan's cap number is a huge bonus, particularly these days on top of being 2 years younger. (I don't believe you could get Nash to eat cap on 5 years)

Well I'd would need a younger player that could fill the role or is currently filling the role that I expect each of them to in the future. So the only prospect I see is Parsons and current players that I'd move one for are Silferberg, Panarin, or Jones. Leddy is good enough too but I'm pretty set at LD and there are no high picks until round 2 of 2019 so thats a little too long for me.
