SEAN MONAHAN - Center - 25 - $6.375MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 6/28/19
While Monahan was perfectly fine as a low-60's point producer with a strong defensive game, he disagreed, and broke out for a point-per-game season in 2018-19. While his 16.1% s% suggests regression is in store for him, Monahan has shown the ability to sustain similarly high shooting percentages before. He's not someone who takes penalties, helping his overall value. He has a great shot, and is strong enough on the puck as well as a good enough skater to create time and space for himself to make plays. He's not an elite, play-driving #1 offensive center, because Gaudreau drives the offense from his line, but he is capable of ~60 points even without Gaudreau to go along with his strong two-way game. Without Gaudreau, he's very similar to the Ryan O'Rielly we saw in Colorado or Buffalo (not the monster we saw in St. Louis) but with Gaudreau his offense is elevated to elite levels. Going forward, Monahan is definite captain material for the Flames (once Gio retires) and should be their #1 center for a long time.
