[Ring of Fire]

After reading this blog: http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/2013/04/29/how-much-offensive-potential-does-2013-nhl-draft-prospect-sean-monahan-have/
I decided to extend the experiment outside of the OHL to similar 2-way NHL centreman to see their NHLE in their draft year. Monahan seems to be a safe bet to be a strong 2-way centreman that can be a second-liner or first liner on a good team. Eric Staal would seem be the ceiling but I would think that a Ryan Kesler/Mike Richards/Jordan Staal/Patrice Bergeron type output of a consistent 50pts with two-way play would be more realistic. I'd be happy with that pick. His NHLE of 33 is very similar to Mike Richards in his draft year. I think Monahan would likely need another year of juniors before jumping to the NHL but could surprise ala Bergeron or O'Reilly.
