I'm sorry you're so down on Monahan... I don't think he would have gone 6th overall in this deep draft had the Flames not thought he has the potential to surpass Linden's numbers.
I think most in here would agree Monahan's ceiling is certainly higher. Of course, I'll be ecstatic if he can manage to reach the level Linden did...but the potential is there for him to be a top-level C, like Staal, Getzlaf or Toews.
