The only two guys I can think of that have maintained shooting percentage like that over their careers are Stamkos, and Tanguay. It's possible Monahan is one of those guys but pretty unlikely.

Jordan Staal is a good comp. Toews is setting fans up for disappointment IMO.
Monahan also had a better track record of scoring coming out of junior than did Staal- I agree that some high end names being thrown around are setting up for disappointment, but I'm not sure Jordan Staal isn't maybe a touch on the lower side of the range too...we'll see
