Most stuff I've read has the top 8 split into two tiers in terms of talent. Barkov is in the 1st tier and Monahan in the 2nd.
Barkov led his men's league team in scoring for most of the year as a teenager and was apparently quite reliable defensively as well. He's accomplished a lot more than Monahan so far I'd say. Monahan had a good year on a bad team playing against teenagers. He's kind of in a similar position that Scheiffele was (not saying their games are similar.)
Both solid prospects. But I haven't seen any lists that put Monahan higher than Barkov and most lists have Barkov several spots higher.
