Monahan is a much more complete player at a younger age.
But I agree in the sense that I don't understand why they are being compared, they play different positions, have different skill sets and have much different physical attributes.

What's not to understand? One guy was our top prospect up until this past draft. Sven was a highly touted forward who was being looked at as a potential torch bearer of the next generation. After the Flames drafted Monahan he became the anointed one.
Sure one is a skilled winger and the other is a 2way center so I can respect why you question the comparison but I think it is pretty clear why the 2 would be compared.
