What are you guys doing to ensure this does not go the Savard route? What is Sven doing?
What types of things are you looking for from Sven? Is it points, hustle, defensive zone coverage?
When you compare Monahan to Sven, what is Monahan doing to stay that Sven is not?
If Sven had a Canadian passport would that make a difference? (I would only ask that if I was Larry Brooks).

I'd say the answer to the bold is pretty easy. Mono is easily exceediing any expectations of what this team thought his abilities and state of development would be this year, Sven, is likely underperforming to his.
And that's all that matters. Doesn't actually matter if Sven was outperforming Mono, because the expectations of Sven entering his 3rd camp and Mono entering is 1st are and should be completely different.
