I think the only difference is hat Bergeron came into the league putting defence first and playing really smart, responsible hockey.

Monahan isn't at the same level Bergeron was defensively, but he's better offensively.

Either way I think it's still a great comparable. A lot of these guys (Bergeron, Toews, Kopitar) took steps back or struggled for stretches. The young versions of these guys are who Monahan compares to talent-wise. He's still got lots of growing to do and lots of time to do it.
