It is borderline nonsense for people to insist that Monahan is a "good second line centre." The kid ranked in the 95th percentile of production among all designated centres to play in the NHL last year, and he was one of only three players in the top-thirty at his position under the age of 22-years-old.

He might be good at driving the play but there is no way he's just as effective as Gaudreau at driving the play.
