Two different players, I'd say at the moment Kessler is ahead Monahan. I'd say Getzlaf benefits more, because Kessler is playing more of the tough defensive assignments.
I dislike Kessler, but he is an effective player. Do you really think we beat the Nucks last year in the playoffs if he was still on the team? I doubt it.
