Obviously stats are the whole story.

I think Drasaitl gets a bit of a bad rep from these international tournaments but he's playing on terrible teams that are completely overmatched.
Monahan played on an abysmal team. No linemates of note. One man show. PA made the playoffs so no, not both bad teams. Monahan's team was substantially worse.
