Key word, Develop. He's 22 years old. For what he's already done is pretty damn impressive.
Rather than people expecting more, perhaps they should appreciate what he's capable of.
As for $6m/season, can you tell me what team wouldn't give him that deal?
The irony is, Monahan still has more points of the two in their careers.

By the team, Monahan is the 2nd highest paid forward on the team.
With that is increased expectations.
