I think it is easily debatable. Kadri has been ripped publicly in the media by his team for years. Now they are looking to move him. He makes 2.9M this year and next and will want a big payday next deal. If he is so great why are the leafs shopping him?

Monahan has been praised for his maturity and humble nature since he was picked. He has proved to be a NHL player at 18/19. Not only that he is 6'2 and nearly 200lbs now. He could easily get to 210-215. He is regarded as a 2 way player where Kadri gets ripped for his lack of defensive awareness.

I think several teams would take Monahan over Kadri because they are looking 3-4 years down the road. He is not the better player today but might be as soon as next season.
