Monahan and Hertl aren't having equally as good of seasons as Barkov or MacKinnon? I might be missing something but are Barkov or MacKinnon fighting for the scoring lead on their respective teams? Or in the thick of the battle for the rookies points Lead? Last I checked it was a two horse race between Hertl and Monahan.
And in Monahan's case, playing on a bad team should amplify his efforts. Outside of Barkov and FLA, those other rookies are all being bolstered by the quality of the team they are on.
