What's the projection for next year? 25 goals? 30 goals?

I think he still has the potential to be one of the best players from the draft.
He's 3 goals shy of Nathan McKimmon this year and a buttload of assists behind but my lord... it must be easier to put up helpers when you're consistently lining up Gabriel Landeskog and Paul Stastny. No disrespect to Joe Colborne or Lance Buoma but those are the guys Monahan lines up with and I think it's safe to say they're several notches behind.
McKimmon will probably always get more points anyways but Monahan will be the more complete player, maybe the more important one.
