Or at least that's what I'm getting from here and most scouting reports. I'm asking not telling, so is that about right?

IMO:
McKinnon > Barkov marginally > Lindholm = Monahan
As someone else said, there is very little difference at the end of the day.
Think about how differently we would have ranked these 4 players a year ago. We can assume that it will be very different again, in a year from now.
We simply can't know who will continue to develop the most going forward. But MacKinnon has the elite skating and that isn't going to go away. And Barkov has the size, which isn't going to go away.
Other than that, you pick the one you like, you do everything you can to help develop them, and you hope they continue to develop into the player they are projected to be.
Statistically, I would predict that 2 of the 4 will become impact players, possibly 3.
