Personally I think Monahan will have a better career than Barkov...could be wrong but I like Seans "smarts" a little more.
BTW, the likelyhood of any of them besides maybe Mackinnon becoming a 90+ player is slim IMO

Barkov's 'smarts' is on par if not higher than Monahan's, is bigger, almost a full year younger and scouts feel he has a much higher offensive ceiling. If Weisbrod did indeed have Monahan ahead of Barkov, that would definitely be a questionable ranking. I really love Monahan, but I don't think there is any facet to his game today that is better than Barkov's, or shows in any way he will be a superior player. You never know what may happen, but at this point, Barkov is the superior prospect.
