For what it is worth I think they are extremely comparable players and anyone saying that one is CLEARLY better than the other is over-reaching.

They are comparable players for sure but Barkov was the better prospect going into the draft and IMO he's probably considered a better player than Monahan today although it's very close. One thing Barkov will have to shake is that he's been injury prone while Monahan has been consistently healthy and that does make a difference over a career. Monahan has had a bit of a down season but I'm not too down on him as he's still a young player and his best days are ahead.
