I think Horvat can be a useful player in the NHL but lets not sugarcoat the fact that we are talking about a guy that put up a career high 61 points in 67 games last year on a team full of talent. Those are very pedestrian junior stats and while he's an all around player it's a stretch to think he's going to be a perennial 75 point player in the NHL. Monahan on the other hand has multiple 80+ point seasons on a bad team without much of a supporting cast. Pretty obvious which player has the higher ceiling and there were exactly zero scouting reports that had Horvat ranked higher than Monahan. Zero.
