So..there's a Center in the league who's career started out eerily similar to Monahan's.
This player scored 31 goals in his 2nd season and then floated around an average of 20 goals a season until about year 10, they hit the 30 plateau again.
He only broke 25 goals three times in over 15 yrs and averages between 50-60 points a season (for arguments sake) and has won 3 Selke trophies and a Stanley Cup.
In my mind I consider this player an Elite Center for what he does in all 3 zones, not just on the score sheet.
This player I think is a much better comparable than Toews and Monny has a very similar trajectory.
Who is he?
