Top 40 Calgary Flames: #15 Sean Monahan

This coming May is the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta Flames moving to Calgary. To commemorate this occasion, we’re counting down the Top 40 Calgary Flames in history.

We’re getting into the upper echelon of Flames greats here. Coming in at #15 is Sean Monahan.

For the better part of Jarome Iginla’s entire tenure with the Flames, successive general managers spent considerable brainpower and resources trying to find the perfect center for him. It’s somewhat ironic that three months after trading Iginla to Pittsburgh, the Flames selected a player that could’ve been a great fit with Iginla in the form of Monahan.
