I'm curious to hear your explanation.
It's not a knock on Monahan, but more that Forsberg is an exceptional complete talent, like a young Bergeron. He is an a) elite scorer, b) major possession driver and also manages to be stifling defensively. I have no counter-argument to the center/wing comparison. Perhaps he does have it easier on the wing.
