Barkov: GP-125, G-24, A-36, P-60, +/-: -7.
Monahan: GP-156, G-53, A-43, P-96, +/-: -12.

With respect to Barkov, he spent a significant portion of his time with Boyes last year. Boyes barely got a contract this year after a PTO. Quite a bit different level of quality of teammates that Monahan had the last half of the season. With Jagr he put up a pretty decent pace with 15 points in his last 20 games.
Barkov's also a full year younger than Monahan, having just turned 20. Monahan's about to turn 21.
