If Monahan hits the 30 goal mark this year ( and it now looks like he is on track to do this) that is a 30% increase in production - while logging much tougher minutes against other teams top lines.
Next year his level of competition won't really increase ( as he is already facing the toughest opponents) but if his production steps up at a similar rate to this year - he could be a 40 goal scorer in 2015/16.
I know still too early to call, but not out of the realm of possibility.
