Looks like you guys got yourselves a player.
Some of our squad up north could use a little more guts like this kid rather than believe all their hype.

Even Edmonton fans are noticing this kid?

Must be his birthday or something

Apparently he is living with Hudler and Hudler has been doing a lot off ice to make him feel comfortable. Its nice to see some like Hudler step up as leader for the rookies.

Monahan's future from Pierre LeBrun

The Calgary Flames have a big decision to make soon on rookie center Sean Monahan, the sixth overall pick in last June’s draft who has looked nothing but at home in the NHL so far.

Keep him with the big club or send him back to junior?

His four goals and two assists in five games had him second in NHL rookie scoring before games Tuesday, so you’d think the decision is obvious. Or is it?

The Flames have not made that decision yet. Instead, they want to see how he fares on the upcoming road trip -- difficult games at Anaheim, San Jose, L.A. and Phoenix -- before deciding what they’re going to do with him. He turned 19 just a few days ago.

Once he’s played 10 NHL games, he burns his first year of service time on his entry-level contract, which is why all clubs around the league have to make a decision with their rookie, junior-eligible players after nine games played.

It’s worth noting that when it comes to Brian Burke, the president of hockey operations for the Flames, his track record as GM had him sending kids back to junior such as Bobby Ryan in Anaheim and Nazem Kadri in Toronto. But this will be GM Jay Feaster’s call.

The other factor to consider is what exactly Monahan’s minutes will be once injured forwards Mike Cammalleri and Matt Stajan return.

On the one hand, the Flames can save one year of service time on Monahan’s entry-level contract if they send him back to junior before his 10th game. But on the other hand, where will his development be best served this year?

Tough call.

I don't understand "burning 1 year of the ELC". According to cap geek, he'll be an RFA in 2016-17, but if he stays with the Flames, he'll be an RFA in 2015-16?

Who cares about burning a year, he loves it here and we love him. He will be a Flame for a very long time. Do whatever is best for development.
