Todd Cordell: Calgary Flames: How Should Sean Monahan Be Utilized?

Give him a few games then back to junior. No need to rush him.

One more year in junior or you'll ruin his career...rushing him would be a bad move for the franchise!!

4th line winger

Why didn't the Oilers send RNH down after nine games? May have saved his shoulder...

So you guys are looking to dump Cammy aren't you? just for the money basically?

what would you take from us REALISTICALLY for him? He has had down years in Calgary.. a 1 year deal.. and his salary is higher than his cap hit..


I am thinking like a 3rd or 4th round pick and a low roster player/Luke Adam.

Exactly, Monahan back to Jr, will be better in the long run.

Cammi is a douche. Not the guy you want to rebuild with. And massively over paid.

I'd love to see that deal happen and have him out of Calgary.

I didn't say rebuild with him.. he is a 1year guy.. and we have no top line RW next to Vanek and Hodge...

I don't want to see Ennis, Stafford, or Leino there.. I think that with the salary space that we have it might just not be a bad choice to blanket for a season.

Why is Cammy a douche though? A bad locker room presence?

I like that he played a lot better with talent around him in MON and LA.. I just don't think CAL had the talent that he needs to prosper... and the fact that he can play both winger and center is a bonus for our depth chart.

True enough on the shoulder but after a hat trick in the first 9 and 52 points in 2 games kind of hard to argue he shold have been sent down. If Monahan is ready let him play, 3rd line will be great for him and plenty of options to shelter his minutes.

52 points in 2 games!!!! HOLY MOLY

Question: Can he play like 5 games to start the season, then play 4 more games near the end of the season?

We don't have any cap issues & I think we get at least a 2nd at the TDL when the salary isn't such an issue & teams are ramping up for a playoff run. Maybe more if we pad his PP & get him up to 20 goals by Feb.

Yeah I think you're right but if the deadline approaches and Cammy has 20 points or something ...

52 points in 2 games!!!! HOLY MOLY

That's not too shabby!

I thought Adam was supposed to be a very good prospect. I remember when we traded Reggie to you guys Adam was requested by Feaster but he was off the table.

- FL4MES

No bro. Once he's sent down he's there in Jr unless its an emergency call up like when Sven got to come up for 5 games. That is a very rare scenario. Everyone can say what they want but bottom line, after 9 games, he either plays himself on the roster or he gets 1 more year in the CHL. Either way its a win win.

Yeah I think you're right but if the deadline approaches and Cammy has 20 points or something ...
- whipper334

Yeah well if that's the case, we wont need pitchforks to run him out of town, he'll have his bags packed & on the greyhound bus. Then a 3rd or 4th rounder will be fine.

He wont. Look at our roster, there is no chance he has that low of a pt total barring injury. He will be logging prime time minutes. I'd hope Feaster would go to him and say "Listen, we can't get a package that is acceptable at this point. We are going to give you every chance to play big minutes and deal you to a contender at the trade deadline."
