"Clearly crazy".
Why?
Monahan has scored more goals than anyone in that draft including Mackinnon. He's second in points. He's doing it this season while playing a strong two-way game and facing tough competition. He's showing himself to be a great leader on and off the ice. He's scoring big goals - already with an impressive number of GWGs and overtime goals under his belt.
So why crazy?
I suspect most teams take Mackinnon because of his huge upside but is it "clearly crazy" to think that based on progression so far in their early careers that Monahan would be a consideration. I don't think it is.
