Someone's opinion can be wrong. Especially when it is not based on information at all but instead a nebulous gut feeling. I could have a gut feeling that E. Staal is like Sami Pahlsson and I'd be dead wrong. Not sure why you are jumping to the defence of this poster and his terrible comparison based on nothing more than a feeling.
Does anybody who has seen both Monahan and McNeill think they are comparable or similar? I'd be shocked because they clearly are quite different prospects with dramatically different ceilings.

Buddy, who cares? It's a friggen message board where people post their opinions. This isn't work or school where we are getting marked based on our answers.
You might be right, congratulations! Are you happy now? is Monahan your brother/son?
They are both centres, big bodies, similar point totals in Junior, a lot of people thought McNeill was going to be very good as well and from the limited time I have watched both players, they seemed similar to me.
As for opinion, there is a difference between comparing two players already in the league and two players who haven't played an NHL game. Are you willing to bet on this? My opinion is wrong, so how about we make a contract where if Monahan gets more NHL points, i get $5000 dollars and if McNeill gets more career points, you get $500. Obviously, my opinion is wrong so the odds are stacked on your side and some easy cash for you.
